Remove keys with `None` value from body in requests
0
Using Python's requests package, I have a body for a POST that has a bunch of None values, ex (dictionary, not JSON):
{
'name': 'John',
'surname': None,
'somelist': [
{
'a': 1,
'b': None
},
{
'a': None,
'b': 2
}
],
'otherdict': {
'c': False,
'd': None
}
}
and I would like the actual body that gets sent out has all the entries with values None removed, as opposed to converted to JSON null:
{
'name': 'John',
'somelist': [
{
'a': 1
},
{
'b': 2
}
],
'otherdict': {
'c': False
}
}
Does the requests package have an option that does this or do I need to do it on my end?

You can do this with recursion (remove keys with None values or recursively call the clean method if the value is not None):
def clean(d):
if type(d) == list:
return [clean(e) for e in d]
elif type(d) == dict:
for k, v in list(d.items()):
if v is None:
del d[k]
else:
d[k] = clean(v)
return d
print(clean(data))
Output
{'somelist': [{'a': 1}, {'b': 2}], 'otherdict': {'c': False}, 'name': 'John'}

Yeah, I figured as much. Just wated to check if the requests package already has an option to do it so I don' t have to. If not, I'll prolly use your code snippet.
