How to Use Python Subprocess Curl and Pipe to File: Best Practices?

14 Replies, 936 Views

Hey folks!

So, I’ve been messing around with Python subprocess curl and pipe to file lately, and I’m kinda stuck on the best way to do it. Like, I know you can use `subprocess.run()` to call curl and dump the output into a file, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it the *right* way.

Here’s what I’ve got:
```python
import subprocess
subprocess.run(["curl", "https://example.com", "-o", "output.txt"])
```
Is this the cleanest way? Or should I be piping stdout to a file manually? Also, what about error handling?

Any tips or best practices for using Python subprocess curl and pipe to file would be super helpful! Thanks in advance, y’all.

Cheers!
