How to calculate content-length python

# Python requests calculate content length

In this section, we'll create a simple "content-length" calculate program in python. Let's follow the following steps and get content-length of your web page:

Step 1 : It is very important to install python requests module / package(eg : pip install requests).


                
                  pip install requests # for window
                  OR
                  pip3 install requests # for max, linux

Step 2 : After installing the request package, To verify the installation, you can try to import it like below:


                
                  import requests

Note : If you don't receive any errors importing the requests module, then it was successful installed.

Step 3 : Now, You can use 'GET request' to retrieve data from any destination

Let's create the simple example :

➤ Example : length.py

              
                      
                         import requests
                         response = requests.get('https://www.google.com')
                         #Just take the len() of the content of the response: 
                         content_len= len(response.content)
                         print(content_len)
