<\/code><\/pre><\/figure>\n\n\nKeep the method as GET and click Send<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf the response panel shows 200 OK<\/strong> and JSON fields such as has_next, page, and quotes, the endpoint works outside the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlso check the Params<\/strong> tab. Postman separates page=1 into a query parameter. This is important because the Python script will later change that value to page=2, page=3, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow open Postman\u2019s Code snippet<\/strong> panel and choose Python – Requests<\/strong>. Postman will generate Python code for the same request, including the endpoint URL, method, headers, and payload structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor real websites, keep this generated code as your starting point. Headers, cookies, tokens, and payload values can decide whether the endpoint works outside the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPostman confirms that the copied endpoint returns JSON and can be converted into a Python Requests snippet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What to Check Before Moving to Python<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBefore writing code, review the request in Postman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u041d\u0430\u0447\u043d\u0438\u0442\u0435 \u0441 Request URL<\/strong>. This is the endpoint address. Then check the \u041c\u0435\u0442\u043e\u0434<\/strong>, usually GET or POST.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA GET request often stores values in the URL. A POST request may send a separate payload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, inspect the query parameters<\/strong>. In this demo, page=1 controls pagination. On real websites, parameters can control the search term, category, city, date, currency, sort order, offset, or cursor.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor POST requests, open the Payload<\/strong> tab. Booking websites may send values such as destination, checkin, checkout, adults, currency, and page. E-commerce endpoints may use query, category, sort, limit, and offset.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBefore moving to Python, check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nHeaders:<\/strong> content type, accept, user agent, and request-specific headers<\/li>\n\n\n\nCookies or tokens:<\/strong> session values, CSRF tokens, or authorization values<\/li>\n\n\n\nResponse shape:<\/strong> where the fields you need appear in the JSON<\/li>\n\n\n\nPagination fields:<\/strong> values such as page, offset, cursor, has_next, or next<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIf the Python request fails later, one of these pieces is often missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Create and Run the First Python Request<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOpen a code editor, such as VS Code, Cursor, or TextEdit in plain text mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a new file named:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/polyline><\/svg><\/button><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/figure>\n\n\nPaste the Python – Requests<\/strong> code generated by Postman into the file:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/polyline><\/svg><\/button><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/figure>\n\n\nSave the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open Terminal and go to the folder where you saved it. For example, if you saved it on Desktop, run:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/polyline><\/svg><\/button><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a virtual environment:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/polyline><\/svg><\/button><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Activate it:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/polyline><\/svg><\/button><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Install Requests inside the virtual environment:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/polyline><\/svg><\/button><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Run the script:<\/p>\n\n\n<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/polyline><\/svg><\/button><\/span><\/code><\/pre><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If everything works, Terminal will print the JSON response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this stage, the goal is simple: confirm that Python can send the same request you tested in Postman<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you see an error saying the file cannot be found, check the filename. On Mac, TextEdit may save the file as .rtf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Collect All Pages and Save to CSV<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nGo back to quotes_api_scraper.py.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now replace the test code with a full scraper. This version keeps the same headers from Postman, changes the page value automatically, and saves the results to quotes.csv.<\/p>\n\n\n
