What is request.post and what is its function?

Question

I am studying python and I came across such a method, but even reading the documentation I still do not understand. From now on, thank you. The python documentation you were reading

Answer 1

Through request.post you send information to an endpoint to be processed and return a replay.

Example:

import requests

API_ENDPOINT = "http://teste.com/api/api_post"

data = {'code':'python'}

r = requests.post(url = API_ENDPOINT, data = data)

In r I’ll have the answer to that request.
