Lab 3.3: Using Postman to generate code¶
One of the most useful features of Postman is its ability to show a code snippet of each request. This makes Postman a great learning tool when trying to develop more complex scripts written in your favorite language. In addition this ia great segway to Module 4 Using Python Program Advanced WAF. It is being introduced now so that you can view each request in this module and get a feel for what the request would look like in Python Requests.
These are languages that Postman supports:
| Language | Framework |
|---|---|
| HTTP | None (Raw HTTP request) |
| C | LibCurl |
| cURL | None (Raw cURL command) |
| C# | RestSharp |
| Go | Built-in http package |
| Java | OkHttp |
| Java | Unirest |
| JavaScript | jQuery AJAX |
| JavaScript | Built-in XHR |
| NodeJS | Built-in http module |
| NodeJS | Request |
| NodeJS | Unirest |
| Objective-C | Built-in NSURLSession |
| OCaml | Cohttp |
| PHP | HttpRequest |
| PHP | pecl_http |
| PHP | Built-in curl |
| Python | Built-in http.client (Python 3) |
| Python | Requests |
| Ruby | Built-in NET::Http |
| Shell | wget |
| Shell | HTTPie |
| Shell | cURL |
| Swift | Built-in NSURLSession |
Task 1 - Generating Python Requests Code¶
Select the Module3Lab1-ex3-GetAllASMPoliciesFilteredTests request and click on the “code” option on the right hand side.
Then select “Python -> Requests” from the code drop down to show the request in Python Requests
