To send commands from a Python script to a web server, you can use HTTP requests. The requests library is a popular and user-friendly option for making HTTP calls in Python.
|
|
For example, you can send a POST request with data to a specific URL:
|
|
|
|
import requests
|
|
|
|
data = {"key": "value"}
|
|
response = requests.post("http://example.com/api", data=data)
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the built-in urllib module, though requests is generally preferred for its simplicity and readability.
|
|
|
|
For sending data from a Raspberry Pi to a web server, you can use tools like curl in a cron job to periodically send data from a Python script to a server endpoint.
|
|
For instance:
|
|
|
|
curl -X POST -d "$(python /path/to/script.py)" http://example.com/receive.php
|
|
|
|
This approach allows the script to output data, which is then sent to the server via HTTP POST.
|
|
|
|
If you are building a web server in Python to receive commands, you can use the http.server module to create a simple server that handles incoming requests.
|
|
For example, a basic server can be started with:
|
|
|
|
python3 -m http.server 8000
|
|
|
|
This starts a server on port 8000, accessible via http://localhost:8000.
|
|
You can extend this server to process incoming commands by defining custom request handlers using BaseHTTPRequestHandler.
|
|
|
|
For more advanced use cases, frameworks like Flask or Django can be used to create robust web servers capable of handling complex command logic and data processing. |
