How do you properly handle 'content-type in python' for HTTP requests and responses? or What’s the be

14 Replies, 810 Views

Hey! Content-type in python trips up a lot of people, so don’t sweat it.

I usually set it manually with the `headers` param in `requests`, like:
```python
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)
```

But yeah, some APIs are picky. If you’re unsure, check the API docs or use Postman to see what headers they expect.

For debugging, `response.headers` and `response.request.headers` are your friends.
