How to URL encode in Python 3?
You misread the documentation. You need to do two things:
- Quote each key and value from your dictionary, and
- Encode those into a URL
Luckily urllib.parse.urlencode does both those things in a single step, and that's the function you should be using.
from urllib.parse import urlencode, quote_pluspayload = {'username':'administrator', 'password':'xyz'}result = urlencode(payload, quote_via=quote_plus)# 'password=xyz&username=administrator'
For Python 3 you could try using quote instead of quote_plus:
import urllib.parseprint(urllib.parse.quote("http://www.sample.com/", safe=""))Result:
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sample.com%2FOr:
from requests.utils import requote_urirequote_uri("http://www.sample.com/?id=123 abc")Result:
'https://www.sample.com/?id=123%20abc'
