Flow memo when getting json data with urllib

Reference page

http://docs.python.jp/2/howto/urllib2.html

point

If you do not pass the data argument, urllib2 makes use of the GET request.

That means POST if you pass an argument

sample

import urllib import urllib2 import json

url = 'http://api.hoge.json' params = { 'status': 1 } data = urllib.urlencode(params) req = urllib2.Request(url, data) response = urllib2.urlopen(req) json_acceptable_string = response.read().replace("'", """) data = json.loads(json_acceptable_string)
