Each of these code examples do essentially the same thing:
STDOUT
STDERR
The cURL example does not handle errors separately, instead writing any
response to STDOUT
, success or otherwise. If you plan to use cURL
in your application, make sure to check for HTTP status codes and/or
Content-Type
headers. The --fail
flag may be useful.
The python example uses the
Requests library. This can be
installed with pip
(and we highly recommend it).
