Return files and folders in current folder. >>> glob('**') ['scaffolds', 'node_modules', 'yarn.lock', '_config.yml', 'source', 'db.json', 'themes', 'package.json', 'package-lock.json'] Return files and folders recursively >>> glob('**', recursive=True) ['scaffolds', 'scaffolds/post.md', 'scaffolds/page.md', 'scaffolds/draft.md', 'node_modules', '...'] Return only specific type of files recursively >>> glob('*.json', recursive=True) ['db.json', 'package.json', 'package-lock.json'] non-recursively >>> glob('**/*....

Before starting lets try HTTP requests with httpbin.org to test multiple HTTP methods with requests and JSON data. We’ll see how to extract data from a JSON-encoded response (e.g. {‘key’: ‘value’}) Install requests library With pipenv (recommended): pipenv install requests With pip: pip install requests GET request Check our IP address: import requests # get request, response is JSON-encoded myIP = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/ip') # extract value from JSON key 'origin' # {'origin': '38....
