[SOLVED] Curl command in Python

Issue

I am using Python3.9. I have below curl command :

curl -x proxy1.req:8080 --location --request POST 'https://auth.trst.com/2.0' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'ct_id=33d3e1-4988-9a08-e7773634ba67' \
--data-urlencode 'ct_sec=56GgtoQA8.WIH9nFM3Eh3sT~cwH' \
--data-urlencode 'scope=https://auth.trst.com/settlement/.default' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials'

Which is returning response as below:

% Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

I want to to execute this curl command in Python and store the token value in variable so that I can use this variable for further logic in Python but not sure how to execute this curl command in Python.

Solution

As @AbdulNiyasPM said:

curl is an HTTP client intended to used as CLI. If you want to use the same functionality In python use libraries like requests.

So, you can do it this way:

import requests

# Request URL
url = 'https://auth.trst.com/2.0'

# Headers
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}

# Payload
payload = {
    'ct_id': '33d3e1-4988-9a08-e7773634ba67',
    'ct_sec': '56GgtoQA8.WIH9nFM3Eh3sT~cwH',
    'scope': 'https://auth.trst.com/settlement/.default',
    'grant_type': 'client_credentials'
}

# Proxy URL
proxy_url = 'http://proxy1.baag:8080'

# Make the request with the proxy
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload, proxies={'http': proxy_url, 'https': proxy_url})

# Check if the request was successful (HTTP code 200)
if response.status_code == 200:
    # Parse the JSON response to get the access token
    response_data = response.json()
    access_token = response_data.get('access_token')
    
    # TODO: Use the access token as needed
else:
    # TODO: Handle the error
