How to use http requests (Get function) to get variable value?

[Matthew3360]

Hi, I have a python app that i want to be able to get variables from a php page on my webserver. My python app is on my computer. How would I make it so the python app could use a http request to get the variables values of the webpage and print them in my python terminal. Also the variables values are stored in a database. Would pythons http request run the mysql to update the variables before it retrieves them.


Thank you,

Matthew Wright

How about an API setup to interact with the database?

It may need authentication. Why 'http request'? Do you want to access the database directly or through the server-side PHP?

Thank you for your reply. I need to access the databases server side through php as the python app will be public. I can't allow them to have access to any of the database connection details. Thanks, Matthew
