+## Python Requests Library
+
+Sometimes we need with a script written in Python accessing to an API or download the content of a web page
+
+For that we can use the [Requests Library](https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest)
+
+First we need to install the library:
+
+```console
+pip install requests
+```
+
+Code Example : 
+
+```python
+
+import requests
+
+# The requests module provides us different methods (get, post, update, delete)
+r = requests.get('http://www.google.com')
+
+# In the request method also it is possible to specify the headers, the cookies and the data sent
+headers = { 'accept' : '*/*' }
+payload = { 'title' : 'Download web page with python' }
+cookies = dict(example_cookie='value')
+
+r = requests.post('https://reqres.in/api/posts', data=payload, headers=headers, cookies=cookies)
+
+# With the object returned 
+# We could check the status code of the response
+r.status_code
+
+# We could obtain the content of the page as a string
+r.text
+
+# Or if the url is an API, we could obtain the response in json format
+r.json()
+
+
+```
