Oh, of course, POST, thanks. Now it works, after also removing the “r” (raw string) from
the token since it already has an escaped backslash, and removing urllib.parse.urlencode
from the parameters. Here’s the working version in case anyone would like to see it:
#!/bin/env python
import requests
baseUrl = 'http://chlamyannotations-test2.princeton.edu/api.php'
params = {'action': 'query',
'meta': 'tokens'}
responseFilename = '/molbio2/mcahn/temp/createPagesResponse.html'
r = requests.get(baseUrl, params=params)
print(r)
print(r.text)
params = {'action': 'edit',
'title': 'TestPage3',
'summary': 'Test summary',
'text': 'article content',
'token': '+\\'}
f = open(responseFilename, 'w')
r = requests.post(baseUrl, data=params)
print(r)
f.write(r.text)
f.close()
