response.url - Python requests

Last Updated : 01 Mar, 2020

response.url returns the URL of the response. It will show the main url which has returned the content, after all redirections, if done. Python requests are generally used to fetch the content from a particular resource URI. Whenever we make a request to a specified URI through Python, it returns a response object. Now, this response object would be used to access certain features such as content, headers, etc. This article revolves around how to check the response.url out of a response object.

import requests

# Making a get request
response = requests.get('http://api.github.com')

# print response
