python-aiohttpHow to get the response body of an aiohttp request in Python?

To get the response body of an aiohttp request in Python, you can use the read() method of the response object. The following example code will print the response body of a GET request to a given URL:

import aiohttp

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    async with session.get('https://example.com') as response:
        response_body = await response.read()
        print(response_body)

Output example

b'<!doctype html>\n<html>\n<head>\n    <title>Example Domain</title>\n\n    <meta charset="utf-8" />\n    <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />\n    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />\n    <style type="text/css">\n    body {\n        background-color: #f0f0f2;\n        margin: 0;\n        padding: 0;\n        font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\n        \n    }\n    div {\n        width: 600px;\n        margin: 5em auto;\n        padding: 50px;\n        background-color: #fdfdff;\n        border-radius: 1em;\n    }\n    a:link, a:visited {\n        color: #38488f;\n        text-decoration: none;\n    }\n    @media (max-width: 700px) {\n        body {\n            background-color: #fff;\n        }\n        div {\n            width: auto;\n            margin: 0 auto;\n            border-radius: 0;\n            padding: 1em;\n        }\n    }\n    </style>    \n</head>\n\n<body>\n<div>\n    <h1>Example Domain</h1>\n    <p>This domain is for use in illustrative examples in documents. You may use this\n    domain in literature without prior coordination or asking for permission.</p>\n    <p><a href="https://www.iana.org/domains/example">More information...</a></p>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n'

Code explanation

import aiohttp: imports the aiohttp library
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session: creates a client session object
async with session.get('https://example.com') as response: sends a GET request to the given URL and stores the response in the response variable
response_body = await response.read(): reads the response body and stores it in the response_body variable
print(response_body): prints the response body
