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

14 Replies, 968 Views

Hey! Your approach with `subprocess.run()` is pretty solid for Python subprocess curl and pipe to file. If you wanna handle errors, you can add `check=True` to raise an exception if curl fails. Like this:

```python
subprocess.run(["curl", "https://example.com", "-o", "output.txt"], check=True)
```

For more control, you could also use `subprocess.Popen` and manually handle stdout/stderr. But honestly, your way is clean and works fine for most cases.

If you're into debugging, check out `curl --verbose` to see what's happening under the hood.
