Python Request API with Encoded Parameters: A Comprehensive Guide

To make a request to an API with encoded parameters using Python, you can use the 'requests' library. Here's an example:

import requests
import urllib.parse

# Define your API endpoint and parameters
endpoint = 'https://example.com/api'
params = {
    'q': 'search query',
    'page': 2,
    'sort': 'date'
}

# Encode the parameters
encoded_params = urllib.parse.urlencode(params)

# Make the request
response = requests.get(f'{endpoint}?{encoded_params}')

# Print the response content
print(response.content)

In this example, we first define the API endpoint and parameters we want to send. We then use the 'urlencode' function from the 'urllib.parse' module to encode the parameters into a URL-encoded string. Finally, we make the request using 'requests.get' and pass in the encoded parameters as part of the URL.
