Summary

In this chapter, we had a brief introduction to HTTP, and we saw a basic GET request example. We also saw the different HTTP methods available that we can use to interact with web applications.

We also learned about HTTP requests. We learned how to interact with a web application using Python and the requests library. We further learned about the HTTP request anatomy and the different HTTP methods and response code.

In Chapter 3, Web Crawling with Scrapy - Mapping the Application, we'll learn how to write a Web Crawler, use Spider using Python, and how to use the Scrappy library.
