本文主要介绍python中调用API的几种方式，下面是python中会用到的库。

 

1.urllib2

import 

urllib2, urllib

github_url 

= 

'https://api.github.com/user/repos'

password_manager 

= 

urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()

password_manager.add_password(

None

, github_url, 

'user'

, 

'***'

)

auth 

= 

urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_manager) 

# create an authentication handler

opener 

= 

urllib2.build_opener(auth) 

# create an opener with the authentication handler

urllib2.install_opener(opener) 

# install the opener...

request 

= 

urllib2.Request(github_url, urllib.urlencode({

'name'

:

'Test repo'

, 

'description'

: 

'Some test repository'

})) 

# Manual encoding required

handler 

= 

urllib2.urlopen(request)

print 

handler.read()

 

2. httplib2

import 

urllib, httplib2

github_url 

= 

'

h 

= 

httplib2.Http(

".cache"

)

h.add_credentials(

"user"

, 

"******"

, "

data 

= 

urllib.urlencode({

"name"

:

"test"

})

resp, content 

= 

h.request(github_url, 

"POST"

, data)

print 

content

 

3. pycurl

import 

pycurl, json

github_url 

= 

"

user_pwd 

= 

"user:*****"

data 

= 

json.dumps({

"name"

: 

"test_repo"

, 

"description"

: 

"Some test repo"

})

c 

= 

pycurl.Curl()

c.setopt(pycurl.URL, github_url)

c.setopt(pycurl.USERPWD, user_pwd)

c.setopt(pycurl.POST, 

1

)

c.setopt(pycurl.POSTFIELDS, data)

c.perform()

 

4. requests

import 

requests, json

github_url 

= 

"

data 

= 

json.dumps({

'name'

:

'test'

, 

'description'

:

'some test repo'

})

r 

= 

requests.post(github_url, data, auth

=

(

'user'

, 

'*****'

))

print 

r.json

 

以上几种方式都可以调用API来执行动作，但requests这种方式代码最简洁，最清晰，建议采用。
