In python3 with requests we can use code like this:
And the data will get sent as form data. More specifically using the format:
name=value&other_name=other_value
and gets sent using
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
This allows us to use a simple dictionary for our form data but submit it to web apps expecting data from an html
<form>
element.This change allows the circuitpython requests library to behave similarly. When
data
is a dictionary it will get formatted into the key/value string and sent withContent-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
With this change we can use almost the same code for python3 and CircuitPython to post data to Google forms/spreadsheets and and similar
<form>
based web apps.
