21.6. `urllib.request` — Biblioteca extensível para abrir URLs¶

Código Fonte: Lib/urllib/request.py

O módulo :mod: urllib.request define funções e classes que ajudam a abrir URLs (principalmente HTTP) em um mundo complexo - autenticação básica ou por digest, redirecionamentos, cookies e muito mais.

The Requests package is recommended for a higher-level HTTP client interface.

O módulo: mod: urllib.request define as seguintes funções:

urllib.request.urlopen(url, data=None, [timeout, ]*, cafile=None, capath=None, cadefault=False, context=None)¶

Abra o URL * url *, que pode ser uma string ou um objeto: class: Request.

data must be an object specifying additional data to be sent to the server, or None if no such data is needed. See Request for details.

O módulo urllib.request usa HTTP/1.1 e inclui o cabeçalho Connection:close em suas solicitações HTTP.

O parâmetro opcional timeout especifica um tempo limite em segundos para bloquear operações como a tentativa de conexão (se não for especificado, a configuração de tempo limite padrão global será usada). Na verdade, isso só funciona para conexões HTTP, HTTPS e FTP.

Se context for especificado, deve ser uma instância de ssl.SSLContext descrevendo as várias opções SSL. Veja class:~http.client.HTTPSConnection para mais detalhes.

Os parâmetros opcionais cafile e capath especificam um conjunto de certificados de AC confiáveis para solicitações HTTPS. cafile deve apontar para um único arquivo contendo um pacote de certificados de AC, enquanto capath deve apontar para um diretório de arquivos de certificado em hash. Mais informações podem ser encontradas em ssl.SSLContext.load_verify_locations().

O parâmetro cadefault é ignorado.

This function always returns an object which can work as a context manager and has methods such as

geturl() — return the URL of the resource retrieved, commonly used to determine if a redirect was followed
info() — return the meta-information of the page, such as headers, in the form of an email.message_from_string() instance (see Quick Reference to HTTP Headers)
getcode() – retorna o código de status HTTP da resposta.

Para URLs HTTP e HTTPS, esta função retorna um objeto http.client.HTTPResponse ligeiramente modificado. Além dos três novos métodos acima, o atributo msg contém as mesmas informações que o atributo reason — a frase de razão retornada pelo servidor — em vez dos cabeçalhos de resposta como é especificado na documentação para HTTPResponse.

Para FTP, arquivo e URLs de dados e solicitações explicitamente tratadas pelas classes legadas URLopener e FancyURLopener, esta função retorna um objeto urllib.response.addinfourl.

Levanta URLError quando ocorrer erros de protocolo.

Observe que None pode ser retornado se nenhum manipulador lidar com a solicitação (embora a OpenerDirector global instalada padrão use UnknownHandler para garantir que isso nunca aconteça).

Além disso, se as configurações de proxy forem detectadas (por exemplo, quando uma variável de ambiente *_proxy como http_proxy é definida), ProxyHandler é instalado por padrão e garante que as solicitações sejam tratadas por meio o proxy.

A função legada urllib.urlopen do Python 2.6 e anteriores foi descontinuada; urllib.request.urlopen() corresponde à antiga urllib2.urlopen. O tratamento de proxy, que foi feito passando um parâmetro de dicionário para urllib.urlopen, pode ser obtido usando objetos ProxyHandler.

Alterado na versão 3.2: cafile e capath foram adicionados.

Alterado na versão 3.2: Hosts virtuais HTTPS agora são suportados, se possível (ou seja, se ssl.HAS_SNI for verdadeiro).

Novo na versão 3.2: data pode ser um oobjeto iterável.

Alterado na versão 3.3: cadefault foi adicionado.

Alterado na versão 3.4.3: context foi adicionado.

Obsoleto desde a versão 3.6: cafile, capath e cadefault estão descontinuados em favor de context. Por favor, em vez disso, utilize ssl.SSLContext.load_cert_chain() ou deixe ssl.create_default_context() selecionar os certificados AC confiáveis do sistema para você.

urllib.request.install_opener(opener)¶: Install an OpenerDirector instance as the default global opener. Installing an opener is only necessary if you want urlopen to use that opener; otherwise, simply call OpenerDirector.open() instead of urlopen(). The code does not check for a real OpenerDirector, and any class with the appropriate interface will work.

urllib.request.build_opener([handler, ...])¶

Return an OpenerDirector instance, which chains the handlers in the order given. handlers can be either instances of BaseHandler, or subclasses of BaseHandler (in which case it must be possible to call the constructor without any parameters). Instances of the following classes will be in front of the handlers, unless the handlers contain them, instances of them or subclasses of them: ProxyHandler (if proxy settings are detected), UnknownHandler, HTTPHandler, HTTPDefaultErrorHandler, HTTPRedirectHandler, FTPHandler, FileHandler, HTTPErrorProcessor.

If the Python installation has SSL support (i.e., if the ssl module can be imported), HTTPSHandler will also be added.

A BaseHandler subclass may also change its handler_order attribute to modify its position in the handlers list.

urllib.request.pathname2url(path)¶: Convert the pathname path from the local syntax for a path to the form used in the path component of a URL. This does not produce a complete URL. The return value will already be quoted using the quote() function.

urllib.request.url2pathname(path)¶: Convert the path component path from a percent-encoded URL to the local syntax for a path. This does not accept a complete URL. This function uses unquote() to decode path.

urllib.request.getproxies()¶: This helper function returns a dictionary of scheme to proxy server URL mappings. It scans the environment for variables named <scheme>_proxy, in a case insensitive approach, for all operating systems first, and when it cannot find it, looks for proxy information from Mac OSX System Configuration for Mac OS X and Windows Systems Registry for Windows. If both lowercase and uppercase environment variables exist (and disagree), lowercase is preferred.

Nota

If the environment variable REQUEST_METHOD is set, which usually indicates your script is running in a CGI environment, the environment variable HTTP_PROXY (uppercase _PROXY) will be ignored. This is because that variable can be injected by a client using the “Proxy:” HTTP header. If you need to use an HTTP proxy in a CGI environment, either use ProxyHandler explicitly, or make sure the variable name is in lowercase (or at least the _proxy suffix).

The following classes are provided:

class urllib.request.Request(url, data=None, headers={}, origin_req_host=None, unverifiable=False, method=None)¶

This class is an abstraction of a URL request.

url should be a string containing a valid URL.

data must be an object specifying additional data to send to the server, or None if no such data is needed. Currently HTTP requests are the only ones that use data. The supported object types include bytes, file-like objects, and iterables. If no Content-Length nor Transfer-Encoding header field has been provided, HTTPHandler will set these headers according to the type of data. Content-Length will be used to send bytes objects, while Transfer-Encoding: chunked as specified in RFC 7230, Section 3.3.1 will be used to send files and other iterables.

For an HTTP POST request method, data should be a buffer in the standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded format. The urllib.parse.urlencode() function takes a mapping or sequence of 2-tuples and returns an ASCII string in this format. It should be encoded to bytes before being used as the data parameter.

headers should be a dictionary, and will be treated as if add_header() was called with each key and value as arguments. This is often used to “spoof” the User-Agent header value, which is used by a browser to identify itself – some HTTP servers only allow requests coming from common browsers as opposed to scripts. For example, Mozilla Firefox may identify itself as "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11", while urllib’s default user agent string is "Python-urllib/2.6" (on Python 2.6).

An appropriate Content-Type header should be included if the data argument is present. If this header has not been provided and data is not None, Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded will be added as a default.

The final two arguments are only of interest for correct handling of third-party HTTP cookies:

origin_req_host should be the request-host of the origin transaction, as defined by RFC 2965. It defaults to http.cookiejar.request_host(self). This is the host name or IP address of the original request that was initiated by the user. For example, if the request is for an image in an HTML document, this should be the request-host of the request for the page containing the image.

unverifiable should indicate whether the request is unverifiable, as defined by RFC 2965. It defaults to False. An unverifiable request is one whose URL the user did not have the option to approve. For example, if the request is for an image in an HTML document, and the user had no option to approve the automatic fetching of the image, this should be true.

method should be a string that indicates the HTTP request method that will be used (e.g. 'HEAD'). If provided, its value is stored in the method attribute and is used by get_method(). The default is 'GET' if data is None or 'POST' otherwise. Subclasses may indicate a different default method by setting the method attribute in the class itself.

Nota

The request will not work as expected if the data object is unable to deliver its content more than once (e.g. a file or an iterable that can produce the content only once) and the request is retried for HTTP redirects or authentication. The data is sent to the HTTP server right away after the headers. There is no support for a 100-continue expectation in the library.

Alterado na versão 3.3: Request.method argument is added to the Request class.

Alterado na versão 3.4: Default Request.method may be indicated at the class level.

Alterado na versão 3.6: Do not raise an error if the Content-Length has not been provided and data is neither None nor a bytes object. Fall back to use chunked transfer encoding instead.

class urllib.request.OpenerDirector¶: The OpenerDirector class opens URLs via BaseHandlers chained together. It manages the chaining of handlers, and recovery from errors.

class urllib.request.BaseHandler¶: This is the base class for all registered handlers — and handles only the simple mechanics of registration.

class urllib.request.HTTPDefaultErrorHandler¶: A class which defines a default handler for HTTP error responses; all responses are turned into HTTPError exceptions.

class urllib.request.HTTPRedirectHandler¶: A class to handle redirections.

class urllib.request.HTTPCookieProcessor(cookiejar=None)¶: A class to handle HTTP Cookies.

class urllib.request.ProxyHandler(proxies=None)¶

Cause requests to go through a proxy. If proxies is given, it must be a dictionary mapping protocol names to URLs of proxies. The default is to read the list of proxies from the environment variables <protocol>_proxy. If no proxy environment variables are set, then in a Windows environment proxy settings are obtained from the registry’s Internet Settings section, and in a Mac OS X environment proxy information is retrieved from the OS X System Configuration Framework.

To disable autodetected proxy pass an empty dictionary.

The no_proxy environment variable can be used to specify hosts which shouldn’t be reached via proxy; if set, it should be a comma-separated list of hostname suffixes, optionally with :port appended, for example cern.ch,ncsa.uiuc.edu,some.host:8080.

Nota

HTTP_PROXY will be ignored if a variable REQUEST_METHOD is set; see the documentation on getproxies().

class urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgr¶: Keep a database of (realm, uri) -> (user, password) mappings.

class urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm¶: Keep a database of (realm, uri) -> (user, password) mappings. A realm of None is considered a catch-all realm, which is searched if no other realm fits.

class urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth¶: A variant of HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm that also has a database of uri -> is_authenticated mappings. Can be used by a BasicAuth handler to determine when to send authentication credentials immediately instead of waiting for a 401 response first.

Novo na versão 3.5.

class urllib.request.AbstractBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)¶: This is a mixin class that helps with HTTP authentication, both to the remote host and to a proxy. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr Objects for information on the interface that must be supported. If passwd_mgr also provides is_authenticated and update_authenticated methods (see HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth Objects), then the handler will use the is_authenticated result for a given URI to determine whether or not to send authentication credentials with the request. If is_authenticated returns True for the URI, credentials are sent. If is_authenticated is False, credentials are not sent, and then if a 401 response is received the request is re-sent with the authentication credentials. If authentication succeeds, update_authenticated is called to set is_authenticated True for the URI, so that subsequent requests to the URI or any of its super-URIs will automatically include the authentication credentials.

Novo na versão 3.5: Added is_authenticated support.

class urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)¶: Handle authentication with the remote host. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr Objects for information on the interface that must be supported. HTTPBasicAuthHandler will raise a ValueError when presented with a wrong Authentication scheme.

class urllib.request.ProxyBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)¶: Handle authentication with the proxy. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr Objects for information on the interface that must be supported.

class urllib.request.AbstractDigestAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)¶: This is a mixin class that helps with HTTP authentication, both to the remote host and to a proxy. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr Objects for information on the interface that must be supported.

class urllib.request.HTTPDigestAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)¶: Handle authentication with the remote host. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr Objects for information on the interface that must be supported. When both Digest Authentication Handler and Basic Authentication Handler are both added, Digest Authentication is always tried first. If the Digest Authentication returns a 40x response again, it is sent to Basic Authentication handler to Handle. This Handler method will raise a ValueError when presented with an authentication scheme other than Digest or Basic.

Alterado na versão 3.3: Raise ValueError on unsupported Authentication Scheme.

class urllib.request.ProxyDigestAuthHandler(password_mgr=None)¶: Handle authentication with the proxy. password_mgr, if given, should be something that is compatible with HTTPPasswordMgr; refer to section HTTPPasswordMgr Objects for information on the interface that must be supported.

class urllib.request.HTTPHandler¶: A class to handle opening of HTTP URLs.

class urllib.request.HTTPSHandler(debuglevel=0, context=None, check_hostname=None)¶: A class to handle opening of HTTPS URLs. context and check_hostname have the same meaning as in http.client.HTTPSConnection.

Alterado na versão 3.2: context and check_hostname were added.

class urllib.request.FileHandler¶: Abre arquivos locais.

class urllib.request.DataHandler¶: Abre dados das URLs.

Novo na versão 3.4.

class urllib.request.FTPHandler¶: Abre URLs de FTP.

class urllib.request.CacheFTPHandler¶: Open FTP URLs, keeping a cache of open FTP connections to minimize delays.

class urllib.request.UnknownHandler¶: A catch-all class to handle unknown URLs.

class urllib.request.HTTPErrorProcessor¶: Process HTTP error responses.

21.6.1. Objeto Request¶

The following methods describe Request’s public interface, and so all may be overridden in subclasses. It also defines several public attributes that can be used by clients to inspect the parsed request.

Request.full_url¶

The original URL passed to the constructor.

Alterado na versão 3.4.

Request.full_url is a property with setter, getter and a deleter. Getting full_url returns the original request URL with the fragment, if it was present.

Request.type¶: The URI scheme.

Request.host¶: The URI authority, typically a host, but may also contain a port separated by a colon.

Request.origin_req_host¶: The original host for the request, without port.

Request.selector¶: The URI path. If the Request uses a proxy, then selector will be the full URL that is passed to the proxy.

Request.data¶: The entity body for the request, or None if not specified.

Alterado na versão 3.4: Changing value of Request.data now deletes “Content-Length” header if it was previously set or calculated.

Request.unverifiable¶: boolean, indicates whether the request is unverifiable as defined by RFC 2965.

Request.method¶: The HTTP request method to use. By default its value is None, which means that get_method() will do its normal computation of the method to be used. Its value can be set (thus overriding the default computation in get_method()) either by providing a default value by setting it at the class level in a Request subclass, or by passing a value in to the Request constructor via the method argument.

Novo na versão 3.3.

Alterado na versão 3.4: A default value can now be set in subclasses; previously it could only be set via the constructor argument.

Request.get_method()¶: Return a string indicating the HTTP request method. If Request.method is not None, return its value, otherwise return 'GET' if Request.data is None, or 'POST' if it’s not. This is only meaningful for HTTP requests.

Alterado na versão 3.3: get_method now looks at the value of Request.method.

Request.add_header(key, val)¶: Add another header to the request. Headers are currently ignored by all handlers except HTTP handlers, where they are added to the list of headers sent to the server. Note that there cannot be more than one header with the same name, and later calls will overwrite previous calls in case the key collides. Currently, this is no loss of HTTP functionality, since all headers which have meaning when used more than once have a (header-specific) way of gaining the same functionality using only one header.

Request.add_unredirected_header(key, header)¶: Add a header that will not be added to a redirected request.

Request.has_header(header)¶: Return whether the instance has the named header (checks both regular and unredirected).

Request.remove_header(header)¶: Remove o cabeçalho nomeado da instância de solicitação (tanto de cabeçalhos regulares como de cabeçalhos não-redirecionados).

Novo na versão 3.4.

Request.get_full_url()¶

Return the URL given in the constructor.

Alterado na versão 3.4.

Returns Request.full_url

Request.set_proxy(host, type)¶: Prepare the request by connecting to a proxy server. The host and type will replace those of the instance, and the instance’s selector will be the original URL given in the constructor.

Request.get_header(header_name, default=None)¶: Return the value of the given header. If the header is not present, return the default value.

Request.header_items()¶: Return a list of tuples (header_name, header_value) of the Request headers.

Alterado na versão 3.4: The request methods add_data, has_data, get_data, get_type, get_host, get_selector, get_origin_req_host and is_unverifiable that were deprecated since 3.3 have been removed.

21.6.2. OpenerDirector Objects¶

OpenerDirector instances have the following methods:

OpenerDirector.add_handler(handler)¶

handler should be an instance of BaseHandler. The following methods are searched, and added to the possible chains (note that HTTP errors are a special case).

protocol_open() — signal that the handler knows how to open protocol URLs.
http_error_type() — signal that the handler knows how to handle HTTP errors with HTTP error code type.
protocol_error() — signal that the handler knows how to handle errors from (non-http) protocol.
protocol_request() — signal that the handler knows how to pre-process protocol requests.
protocol_response() — signal that the handler knows how to post-process protocol responses.

OpenerDirector.open(url, data=None[, timeout])¶: Open the given url (which can be a request object or a string), optionally passing the given data. Arguments, return values and exceptions raised are the same as those of urlopen() (which simply calls the open() method on the currently installed global OpenerDirector). The optional timeout parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for blocking operations like the connection attempt (if not specified, the global default timeout setting will be used). The timeout feature actually works only for HTTP, HTTPS and FTP connections).

OpenerDirector.error(proto, *args)¶

Handle an error of the given protocol. This will call the registered error handlers for the given protocol with the given arguments (which are protocol specific). The HTTP protocol is a special case which uses the HTTP response code to determine the specific error handler; refer to the http_error_*() methods of the handler classes.

Return values and exceptions raised are the same as those of urlopen().

OpenerDirector objects open URLs in three stages:

The order in which these methods are called within each stage is determined by sorting the handler instances.

Every handler with a method named like protocol_request() has that method called to pre-process the request.
Handlers with a method named like protocol_open() are called to handle the request. This stage ends when a handler either returns a non-None value (ie. a response), or raises an exception (usually URLError). Exceptions are allowed to propagate.

In fact, the above algorithm is first tried for methods named default_open(). If all such methods return None, the algorithm is repeated for methods named like protocol_open(). If all such methods return None, the algorithm is repeated for methods named unknown_open().

Note that the implementation of these methods may involve calls of the parent OpenerDirector instance’s open() and error() methods.
Every handler with a method named like protocol_response() has that method called to post-process the response.

21.6.3. BaseHandler Objects¶

BaseHandler objects provide a couple of methods that are directly useful, and others that are meant to be used by derived classes. These are intended for direct use:

BaseHandler.add_parent(director)¶: Add a director as parent.

BaseHandler.close()¶: Remove any parents.

The following attribute and methods should only be used by classes derived from BaseHandler.

Nota

The convention has been adopted that subclasses defining protocol_request() or protocol_response() methods are named *Processor; all others are named *Handler.

BaseHandler.parent¶: A valid OpenerDirector, which can be used to open using a different protocol, or handle errors.

BaseHandler.default_open(req)¶

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to catch all URLs.

This method, if implemented, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. It should return a file-like object as described in the return value of the open() of OpenerDirector, or None. It should raise URLError, unless a truly exceptional thing happens (for example, MemoryError should not be mapped to URLError).

This method will be called before any protocol-specific open method.

BaseHandler.protocol_open(req)

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to handle URLs with the given protocol.

This method, if defined, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. Return values should be the same as for default_open().

BaseHandler.unknown_open(req)¶

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to catch all URLs with no specific registered handler to open it.

This method, if implemented, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. Return values should be the same as for default_open().

BaseHandler.http_error_default(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should override it if they intend to provide a catch-all for otherwise unhandled HTTP errors. It will be called automatically by the OpenerDirector getting the error, and should not normally be called in other circumstances.

req will be a Request object, fp will be a file-like object with the HTTP error body, code will be the three-digit code of the error, msg will be the user-visible explanation of the code and hdrs will be a mapping object with the headers of the error.

Return values and exceptions raised should be the same as those of urlopen().

BaseHandler.http_error_nnn(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶

nnn should be a three-digit HTTP error code. This method is also not defined in BaseHandler, but will be called, if it exists, on an instance of a subclass, when an HTTP error with code nnn occurs.

Subclasses should override this method to handle specific HTTP errors.

Arguments, return values and exceptions raised should be the same as for http_error_default().

BaseHandler.protocol_request(req)

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to pre-process requests of the given protocol.

This method, if defined, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. req will be a Request object. The return value should be a Request object.

BaseHandler.protocol_response(req, response)

This method is not defined in BaseHandler, but subclasses should define it if they want to post-process responses of the given protocol.

This method, if defined, will be called by the parent OpenerDirector. req will be a Request object. response will be an object implementing the same interface as the return value of urlopen(). The return value should implement the same interface as the return value of urlopen().

21.6.4. HTTPRedirectHandler Objects¶

Nota

Some HTTP redirections require action from this module’s client code. If this is the case, HTTPError is raised. See RFC 2616 for details of the precise meanings of the various redirection codes.

An HTTPError exception raised as a security consideration if the HTTPRedirectHandler is presented with a redirected URL which is not an HTTP, HTTPS or FTP URL.

HTTPRedirectHandler.redirect_request(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs, newurl)¶: Return a Request or None in response to a redirect. This is called by the default implementations of the http_error_30*() methods when a redirection is received from the server. If a redirection should take place, return a new Request to allow http_error_30*() to perform the redirect to newurl. Otherwise, raise HTTPError if no other handler should try to handle this URL, or return None if you can’t but another handler might.

Nota

The default implementation of this method does not strictly follow RFC 2616, which says that 301 and 302 responses to POST requests must not be automatically redirected without confirmation by the user. In reality, browsers do allow automatic redirection of these responses, changing the POST to a GET, and the default implementation reproduces this behavior.

HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_301(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶: Redirect to the Location: or URI: URL. This method is called by the parent OpenerDirector when getting an HTTP ‘moved permanently’ response.

HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_302(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶: The same as http_error_301(), but called for the ‘found’ response.

HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_303(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶: The same as http_error_301(), but called for the ‘see other’ response.

HTTPRedirectHandler.http_error_307(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶: The same as http_error_301(), but called for the ‘temporary redirect’ response.

21.6.5. HTTPCookieProcessor Objects¶

HTTPCookieProcessor instances have one attribute:

HTTPCookieProcessor.cookiejar¶: The http.cookiejar.CookieJar in which cookies are stored.

21.6.6. ProxyHandler Objects¶

ProxyHandler.protocol_open(request): The ProxyHandler will have a method protocol_open() for every protocol which has a proxy in the proxies dictionary given in the constructor. The method will modify requests to go through the proxy, by calling request.set_proxy(), and call the next handler in the chain to actually execute the protocol.

21.6.7. HTTPPasswordMgr Objects¶

These methods are available on HTTPPasswordMgr and HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm objects.

HTTPPasswordMgr.add_password(realm, uri, user, passwd)¶: uri can be either a single URI, or a sequence of URIs. realm, user and passwd must be strings. This causes (user, passwd) to be used as authentication tokens when authentication for realm and a super-URI of any of the given URIs is given.

HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password(realm, authuri)¶

Get user/password for given realm and URI, if any. This method will return (None, None) if there is no matching user/password.

For HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm objects, the realm None will be searched if the given realm has no matching user/password.

21.6.8. HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth Objects¶

This password manager extends HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm to support tracking URIs for which authentication credentials should always be sent.

HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.add_password(realm, uri, user, passwd, is_authenticated=False)¶: realm, uri, user, passwd are as for HTTPPasswordMgr.add_password(). is_authenticated sets the initial value of the is_authenticated flag for the given URI or list of URIs. If is_authenticated is specified as True, realm is ignored.

HTTPPasswordMgr.find_user_password(realm, authuri): Same as for HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm objects

HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.update_authenticated(self, uri, is_authenticated=False)¶: Update the is_authenticated flag for the given uri or list of URIs.

HTTPPasswordMgrWithPriorAuth.is_authenticated(self, authuri)¶: Returns the current state of the is_authenticated flag for the given URI.

21.6.9. AbstractBasicAuthHandler Objects¶

AbstractBasicAuthHandler.http_error_auth_reqed(authreq, host, req, headers)¶

Handle an authentication request by getting a user/password pair, and re-trying the request. authreq should be the name of the header where the information about the realm is included in the request, host specifies the URL and path to authenticate for, req should be the (failed) Request object, and headers should be the error headers.

host is either an authority (e.g. "python.org") or a URL containing an authority component (e.g. "http://python.org/"). In either case, the authority must not contain a userinfo component (so, "python.org" and "python.org:80" are fine, "joe:password@python.org" is not).

21.6.10. HTTPBasicAuthHandler Objects¶

HTTPBasicAuthHandler.http_error_401(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶: Retry the request with authentication information, if available.

21.6.11. ProxyBasicAuthHandler Objects¶

ProxyBasicAuthHandler.http_error_407(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶: Retry the request with authentication information, if available.

21.6.12. AbstractDigestAuthHandler Objects¶

AbstractDigestAuthHandler.http_error_auth_reqed(authreq, host, req, headers)¶: authreq should be the name of the header where the information about the realm is included in the request, host should be the host to authenticate to, req should be the (failed) Request object, and headers should be the error headers.

21.6.13. HTTPDigestAuthHandler Objects¶

HTTPDigestAuthHandler.http_error_401(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶: Retry the request with authentication information, if available.

21.6.14. ProxyDigestAuthHandler Objects¶

ProxyDigestAuthHandler.http_error_407(req, fp, code, msg, hdrs)¶: Retry the request with authentication information, if available.

21.6.15. HTTPHandler Objects¶

HTTPHandler.http_open(req)¶: Send an HTTP request, which can be either GET or POST, depending on req.has_data().

21.6.16. Objetos HTTPSHandler¶

HTTPSHandler.https_open(req)¶: Send an HTTPS request, which can be either GET or POST, depending on req.has_data().

21.6.17. FileHandler Objects¶

FileHandler.file_open(req)¶: Open the file locally, if there is no host name, or the host name is 'localhost'.

Alterado na versão 3.2: This method is applicable only for local hostnames. When a remote hostname is given, an URLError is raised.

21.6.18. DataHandler Objects¶

DataHandler.data_open(req)¶: Read a data URL. This kind of URL contains the content encoded in the URL itself. The data URL syntax is specified in RFC 2397. This implementation ignores white spaces in base64 encoded data URLs so the URL may be wrapped in whatever source file it comes from. But even though some browsers don’t mind about a missing padding at the end of a base64 encoded data URL, this implementation will raise an ValueError in that case.

21.6.19. FTPHandler Objects¶

FTPHandler.ftp_open(req)¶: Open the FTP file indicated by req. The login is always done with empty username and password.

21.6.20. CacheFTPHandler Objects¶

CacheFTPHandler objects are FTPHandler objects with the following additional methods:

CacheFTPHandler.setTimeout(t)¶: Set timeout of connections to t seconds.

CacheFTPHandler.setMaxConns(m)¶: Set maximum number of cached connections to m.

21.6.21. Objetos UnknownHandler¶

UnknownHandler.unknown_open()¶: Raise a URLError exception.

21.6.22. HTTPErrorProcessor Objects¶

HTTPErrorProcessor.http_response(request, response)¶

Process HTTP error responses.

For 200 error codes, the response object is returned immediately.

For non-200 error codes, this simply passes the job on to the protocol_error_code() handler methods, via OpenerDirector.error(). Eventually, HTTPDefaultErrorHandler will raise an HTTPError if no other handler handles the error.

HTTPErrorProcessor.https_response(request, response)¶

Process HTTPS error responses.

The behavior is same as http_response().

21.6.23. Exemplos¶

In addition to the examples below, more examples are given in Como Buscar Recursos Da Internet Usando O Pacote urllib.

This example gets the python.org main page and displays the first 300 bytes of it.

>>> import urllib.request
>>> with urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org/') as f:
...     print(f.read(300))
...
b'<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">\n\n\n<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">\n\n<head>\n
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />\n
<title>Python Programming '

Note that urlopen returns a bytes object. This is because there is no way for urlopen to automatically determine the encoding of the byte stream it receives from the HTTP server. In general, a program will decode the returned bytes object to string once it determines or guesses the appropriate encoding.

The following W3C document, https://www.w3.org/International/O-charset, lists the various ways in which an (X)HTML or an XML document could have specified its encoding information.

As the python.org website uses utf-8 encoding as specified in its meta tag, we will use the same for decoding the bytes object.

>>> with urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org/') as f:
...     print(f.read(100).decode('utf-8'))
...
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtm

It is also possible to achieve the same result without using the context manager approach.

>>> import urllib.request
>>> f = urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.python.org/')
>>> print(f.read(100).decode('utf-8'))
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtm

In the following example, we are sending a data-stream to the stdin of a CGI and reading the data it returns to us. Note that this example will only work when the Python installation supports SSL.

>>> import urllib.request
>>> req = urllib.request.Request(url='https://localhost/cgi-bin/test.cgi',
...                       data=b'This data is passed to stdin of the CGI')
>>> with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as f:
...     print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
...
Got Data: "This data is passed to stdin of the CGI"

The code for the sample CGI used in the above example is:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
data = sys.stdin.read()
print('Content-type: text/plain\n\nGot Data: "%s"' % data)

Here is an example of doing a PUT request using Request:

import urllib.request
DATA = b'some data'
req = urllib.request.Request(url='http://localhost:8080', data=DATA,method='PUT')
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as f:
    pass
print(f.status)
print(f.reason)

Use of Basic HTTP Authentication:

import urllib.request
# Create an OpenerDirector with support for Basic HTTP Authentication...
auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
auth_handler.add_password(realm='PDQ Application',
                          uri='https://mahler:8092/site-updates.py',
                          user='klem',
                          passwd='kadidd!ehopper')
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
# ...and install it globally so it can be used with urlopen.
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.example.com/login.html')

build_opener() provides many handlers by default, including a ProxyHandler. By default, ProxyHandler uses the environment variables named <scheme>_proxy, where <scheme> is the URL scheme involved. For example, the http_proxy environment variable is read to obtain the HTTP proxy’s URL.

This example replaces the default ProxyHandler with one that uses programmatically-supplied proxy URLs, and adds proxy authorization support with ProxyBasicAuthHandler.

proxy_handler = urllib.request.ProxyHandler({'http': 'http://www.example.com:3128/'})
proxy_auth_handler = urllib.request.ProxyBasicAuthHandler()
proxy_auth_handler.add_password('realm', 'host', 'username', 'password')

opener = urllib.request.build_opener(proxy_handler, proxy_auth_handler)
# This time, rather than install the OpenerDirector, we use it directly:
opener.open('http://www.example.com/login.html')

Adding HTTP headers:

Use the headers argument to the Request constructor, or:

import urllib.request
req = urllib.request.Request('http://www.example.com/')
req.add_header('Referer', 'http://www.python.org/')
# Customize the default User-Agent header value:
req.add_header('User-Agent', 'urllib-example/0.1 (Contact: . . .)')
r = urllib.request.urlopen(req)

OpenerDirector automatically adds a User-Agent header to every Request. To change this:

import urllib.request
opener = urllib.request.build_opener()
opener.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/5.0')]
opener.open('http://www.example.com/')

Also, remember that a few standard headers (Content-Length, Content-Type and Host) are added when the Request is passed to urlopen() (or OpenerDirector.open()).

Here is an example session that uses the GET method to retrieve a URL containing parameters:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> import urllib.parse
>>> params = urllib.parse.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
>>> url = "http://www.musi-cal.com/cgi-bin/query?%s" % params
>>> with urllib.request.urlopen(url) as f:
...     print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
...

The following example uses the POST method instead. Note that params output from urlencode is encoded to bytes before it is sent to urlopen as data:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> import urllib.parse
>>> data = urllib.parse.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
>>> data = data.encode('ascii')
>>> with urllib.request.urlopen("http://requestb.in/xrbl82xr", data) as f:
...     print(f.read().decode('utf-8'))
...

The following example uses an explicitly specified HTTP proxy, overriding environment settings:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> proxies = {'http': 'http://proxy.example.com:8080/'}
>>> opener = urllib.request.FancyURLopener(proxies)
>>> with opener.open("http://www.python.org") as f:
...     f.read().decode('utf-8')
...

The following example uses no proxies at all, overriding environment settings:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> opener = urllib.request.FancyURLopener({})
>>> with opener.open("http://www.python.org/") as f:
...     f.read().decode('utf-8')
...

21.6.24. Legacy interface¶

The following functions and classes are ported from the Python 2 module urllib (as opposed to urllib2). They might become deprecated at some point in the future.

urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename=None, reporthook=None, data=None)¶

Copy a network object denoted by a URL to a local file. If the URL points to a local file, the object will not be copied unless filename is supplied. Return a tuple (filename, headers) where filename is the local file name under which the object can be found, and headers is whatever the info() method of the object returned by urlopen() returned (for a remote object). Exceptions are the same as for urlopen().

The second argument, if present, specifies the file location to copy to (if absent, the location will be a tempfile with a generated name). The third argument, if present, is a callable that will be called once on establishment of the network connection and once after each block read thereafter. The callable will be passed three arguments; a count of blocks transferred so far, a block size in bytes, and the total size of the file. The third argument may be -1 on older FTP servers which do not return a file size in response to a retrieval request.

The following example illustrates the most common usage scenario:

>>> import urllib.request
>>> local_filename, headers = urllib.request.urlretrieve('http://python.org/')
>>> html = open(local_filename)
>>> html.close()

If the url uses the http: scheme identifier, the optional data argument may be given to specify a POST request (normally the request type is GET). The data argument must be a bytes object in standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded format; see the urllib.parse.urlencode() function.

urlretrieve() will raise ContentTooShortError when it detects that the amount of data available was less than the expected amount (which is the size reported by a Content-Length header). This can occur, for example, when the download is interrupted.

The Content-Length is treated as a lower bound: if there’s more data to read, urlretrieve reads more data, but if less data is available, it raises the exception.

You can still retrieve the downloaded data in this case, it is stored in the content attribute of the exception instance.

If no Content-Length header was supplied, urlretrieve can not check the size of the data it has downloaded, and just returns it. In this case you just have to assume that the download was successful.

urllib.request.urlcleanup()¶: Cleans up temporary files that may have been left behind by previous calls to urlretrieve().

class urllib.request.URLopener(proxies=None, **x509)¶

Obsoleto desde a versão 3.3.

Base class for opening and reading URLs. Unless you need to support opening objects using schemes other than http:, ftp:, or file:, you probably want to use FancyURLopener.

By default, the URLopener class sends a User-Agent header of urllib/VVV, where VVV is the urllib version number. Applications can define their own User-Agent header by subclassing URLopener or FancyURLopener and setting the class attribute version to an appropriate string value in the subclass definition.

The optional proxies parameter should be a dictionary mapping scheme names to proxy URLs, where an empty dictionary turns proxies off completely. Its default value is None, in which case environmental proxy settings will be used if present, as discussed in the definition of urlopen(), above.

Additional keyword parameters, collected in x509, may be used for authentication of the client when using the https: scheme. The keywords key_file and cert_file are supported to provide an SSL key and certificate; both are needed to support client authentication.

URLopener objects will raise an OSError exception if the server returns an error code.

open(fullurl, data=None)¶: Open fullurl using the appropriate protocol. This method sets up cache and proxy information, then calls the appropriate open method with its input arguments. If the scheme is not recognized, open_unknown() is called. The data argument has the same meaning as the data argument of urlopen().

open_unknown(fullurl, data=None)¶: Overridable interface to open unknown URL types.

retrieve(url, filename=None, reporthook=None, data=None)¶

Retrieves the contents of url and places it in filename. The return value is a tuple consisting of a local filename and either an email.message.Message object containing the response headers (for remote URLs) or None (for local URLs). The caller must then open and read the contents of filename. If filename is not given and the URL refers to a local file, the input filename is returned. If the URL is non-local and filename is not given, the filename is the output of tempfile.mktemp() with a suffix that matches the suffix of the last path component of the input URL. If reporthook is given, it must be a function accepting three numeric parameters: A chunk number, the maximum size chunks are read in and the total size of the download (-1 if unknown). It will be called once at the start and after each chunk of data is read from the network. reporthook is ignored for local URLs.

If the url uses the http: scheme identifier, the optional data argument may be given to specify a POST request (normally the request type is GET). The data argument must in standard application/x-www-form-urlencoded format; see the urllib.parse.urlencode() function.

version¶: Variable that specifies the user agent of the opener object. To get urllib to tell servers that it is a particular user agent, set this in a subclass as a class variable or in the constructor before calling the base constructor.

class urllib.request.FancyURLopener(...)¶

Obsoleto desde a versão 3.3.

FancyURLopener subclasses URLopener providing default handling for the following HTTP response codes: 301, 302, 303, 307 and 401. For the 30x response codes listed above, the Location header is used to fetch the actual URL. For 401 response codes (authentication required), basic HTTP authentication is performed. For the 30x response codes, recursion is bounded by the value of the maxtries attribute, which defaults to 10.

For all other response codes, the method http_error_default() is called which you can override in subclasses to handle the error appropriately.

Nota

According to the letter of RFC 2616, 301 and 302 responses to POST requests must not be automatically redirected without confirmation by the user. In reality, browsers do allow automatic redirection of these responses, changing the POST to a GET, and urllib reproduces this behaviour.

The parameters to the constructor are the same as those for URLopener.

Nota

When performing basic authentication, a FancyURLopener instance calls its prompt_user_passwd() method. The default implementation asks the users for the required information on the controlling terminal. A subclass may override this method to support more appropriate behavior if needed.

The FancyURLopener class offers one additional method that should be overloaded to provide the appropriate behavior:

prompt_user_passwd(host, realm)¶

Return information needed to authenticate the user at the given host in the specified security realm. The return value should be a tuple, (user, password), which can be used for basic authentication.

The implementation prompts for this information on the terminal; an application should override this method to use an appropriate interaction model in the local environment.

21.6.25. `urllib.request` Restrictions¶

Currently, only the following protocols are supported: HTTP (versions 0.9 and 1.0), FTP, local files, and data URLs.

Alterado na versão 3.4: Added support for data URLs.
The caching feature of urlretrieve() has been disabled until someone finds the time to hack proper processing of Expiration time headers.
There should be a function to query whether a particular URL is in the cache.
For backward compatibility, if a URL appears to point to a local file but the file can’t be opened, the URL is re-interpreted using the FTP protocol. This can sometimes cause confusing error messages.
The urlopen() and urlretrieve() functions can cause arbitrarily long delays while waiting for a network connection to be set up. This means that it is difficult to build an interactive Web client using these functions without using threads.
The data returned by urlopen() or urlretrieve() is the raw data returned by the server. This may be binary data (such as an image), plain text or (for example) HTML. The HTTP protocol provides type information in the reply header, which can be inspected by looking at the Content-Type header. If the returned data is HTML, you can use the module html.parser to parse it.
The code handling the FTP protocol cannot differentiate between a file and a directory. This can lead to unexpected behavior when attempting to read a URL that points to a file that is not accessible. If the URL ends in a /, it is assumed to refer to a directory and will be handled accordingly. But if an attempt to read a file leads to a 550 error (meaning the URL cannot be found or is not accessible, often for permission reasons), then the path is treated as a directory in order to handle the case when a directory is specified by a URL but the trailing / has been left off. This can cause misleading results when you try to fetch a file whose read permissions make it inaccessible; the FTP code will try to read it, fail with a 550 error, and then perform a directory listing for the unreadable file. If fine-grained control is needed, consider using the ftplib module, subclassing FancyURLopener, or changing _urlopener to meet your needs.

21.7. `urllib.response` — Response classes used by urllib¶

The urllib.response module defines functions and classes which define a minimal file like interface, including read() and readline(). The typical response object is an addinfourl instance, which defines an info() method and that returns headers and a geturl() method that returns the url. Functions defined by this module are used internally by the urllib.request module.
