Python: Access and print a URL's content to the console

Python Basic: Exercise-101 with Solution

Write a Python program to access and print a URL's content to the console.

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

# Import the HTTPConnection class from the http.client module.
from http.client import HTTPConnection

# Create an HTTPConnection object for the "example.com" host.
conn = HTTPConnection("example.com")

# Send a GET request to the root path ("/") of the host.
conn.request("GET", "/")

# Get the response from the server.
result = conn.getresponse()

# Retrieve the entire contents of the response.
contents = result.read()

# Print the contents of the response.
print(contents)

Sample Output:

b'<!doctype html>\n<html>\n<head>\n    <title>Example Domain</title
>\n\n    <meta charset="utf-8" />\n    <meta http-equiv="Content-ty
pe" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />\n    <meta name="viewport

\n    div {\n        width: 600px;\n        margin: 5em auto;\n    
    padding: 50px;\n        background-color: #fff;\n        border
-radius: 1em;\n    }\n    a:link, a:visited {\n        color: #3848

    }\n        div {\n            width: auto;\n            margin:

Flowchart: Access and print a URL's content to the console.

Sample Solution-2:

Python Code:

# Import the requests library to make HTTP requests.
import requests

# Send an HTTP GET request to the 'https://google.com/' URL and store the response.
data = requests.get('https://google.com/')

# Access the text content of the response, which contains the webpage's HTML.
webpage_text = data.text

# Print the HTML content of the webpage.
print(webpage_text)

Sample Output:
