RequestLibrary : Post On session vs Post request

Wolfe1 · 20 May 2021 14:14

Hmm well if you are familiar with using python you could do what I did here using utils in RequestsLibrary:

Accruent/robotframework-zoomba/blob/master/src/Zoomba/APILibrary.py#L66

    
      
                  fullstring: (string) A string that contains the rest of the url that identifies a specific API/Webservice
                  along with any query parameters.\n
                  timeout: (float) Time in seconds for the api to respond\n
                  data: (json) The JSON object to be sent on the body of the request to be used by the specific Web service.\n
                  files: (json) A JSON object that sends in the body of the request to be used by the specific Web service.\n
                  return: (response object) Returns the request response object, which includes headers, content, etc.
              """
              if self.suppress_warnings:
                  urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)
              session = requests_lib.create_session("postapi", endpoint, headers, cookies=cookies, timeout=timeout)
              data = utils.format_data_according_to_header(session, data, headers)
              resp = requests_lib.post_on_session("postapi", fullstring, data, files=files, timeout=timeout, expected_status='any')
              return _convert_resp_to_dict(resp)
          
          
def call_delete_request(self, headers=None, endpoint=None, fullstring=None, cookies=None, timeout=None):
              """ Generate a DELETE Request. This Keyword is basically a wrapper for delete_request from the RequestsLibrary.\n
                  headers: (dictionary) The headers to be sent as part of the request.\n
                  endpoint: (string) The string that identifies the url endpoint of the App that receives API requests.\n
                  fullstring: (string) A string that contains the rest of the url that identifies a specific API/Webservice
                  along with any query parameters.\n
                  timeout: (float) Time in seconds for the api to respond\n

This allowed me to use the same data I had, convert it, and then send it in as data.
