Requests is not a built in module (does not come with the default python installation), so you will have to install it:
OSX/Linux
Python 2:
sudo pip install requests
Python 3:
sudo pip3 install requests
if you have
pip
installed (
pip
is the package installer for python and should come by default with your python installation).
If pip is installed but not in your path you can use
python -m pip install requests
(or
python3 -m pip install requests
for python3)
Alternatively you can also use
sudo easy_install -U requests
if you have
easy_install
installed.
Linux
Alternatively you can use your systems package manager:
For centos:
sudo yum install python-requests
For Debian/Ubuntu Python2:
sudo apt-get install python-requests
For Debian/Ubuntu Python3:
sudo apt-get install python3-requests
Windows
Use
pip install requests
(or
pip3 install requests
for python3) if you have
pip
installed and Pip.exe added to the Path Environment Variable. If pip is installed but not in your path you can use
python -m pip install requests
(or
python3 -m pip install requests
for python3)
Alternatively from a cmd prompt, use
> Path\easy_install.exe requests
, where
Path
is your
Python*\Scripts
folder, if it was installed. (For example:
C:\Python32\Scripts
)
If you manually want to add a library to a windows machine, you can download the compressed library, uncompress it, and then place it into the
Lib\site-packages
folder of your python path. (For example:
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages
)
From Source (Universal)
For any missing library, the source is usually available at
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/
. You can download requests here:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests
On mac osx and windows, after downloading the source zip, uncompress it and from the termiminal/cmd run
python setup.py install
from the uncompressed dir.

To install
requests
module on Debian/Ubuntu for Python2:
$ sudo apt-get install python-requests
And for Python3 the command is:
$ sudo apt-get install python3-requests
Brew users can use reference below,
command to install
requests
:
python3 -m pip install requests
Homebrew and Python
pip is the package installer for Python and you need the package requests.

This may be a liittle bit too late but this command can be run even when pip path is not set. I am using Python 3.7 running on Windows 10 and this is the command
py -m pip install requests
and you can also replace 'requests' with any other uninstalled library
In my case requests was already installed, but needed an upgrade. The following command did the trick
$ sudo pip install requests --upgrade
On OSX, the command will depend on the flavour of python installation you have.
Python 2.x - Default
sudo pip install requests
Python 3.x
sudo pip3 install requests

I had the same issue, so I copied the folder named "requests" from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests#downloadsrequests download to
"/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages".
Now when you use: import requests, it should work fine.
or else if you want to use pycharm IDE to install a package:
go to setting from File in menu
next go to Python interpreter
click on pip
search for requests package and install it

If you are using anaconda as your python package manager, execute the following:
conda install -c anaconda requests
Installing requests through pip didn't help me.

Follow this link
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries27?hl=en#vendoring
step1 : Have a file by named a file named appengine_config.py in the root of your project, then add these lines:
from google.appengine.ext import vendor
Add any libraries installed in the "lib" folder.
vendor.add('lib')
Step 2: create a directory and name it "lib" under root directory of project.
step 3: use pip install -t lib requests
step 4 : deploy to app engine.

The only thing that worked for me:
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
pip install requests
Facing the same issue but unable to fix it with the above solution, so I tried this way and it worked:-
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
sudo python2 get-pip.py
python -m pip install requests
These commands are also useful if Homebrew screws up your path on macOS.
python -m pip install requests
python3 -m pip install requests
I have had this issue a couple times in the past few months. I haven't seen a good solution for fedora systems posted, so here's yet another solution. I'm using RHEL7, and I discovered the following:
If you have urllib3 installed via pip, and requests installed via yum you will have issues, even if you have the correct packages installed. The same will apply if you have urllib3 installed via yum, and requests installed via pip. Here's what I did to fix the issue:
sudo pip uninstall requests
sudo pip uninstall urllib3
sudo yum remove python-urllib3
sudo yum remove python-requests
(confirm that all those libraries have been removed)
sudo yum install python-urllib3
sudo yum install python-requests
Just be aware that this will only work for systems that are running Fedora, Redhat, or CentOS.

You must make sure your requests module is not being installed in a more recent version of python.
When using python 3.7, run your python file like:
python3 myfile.py
or enter python interactive mode with:
python3
Yes, this works for me. Run your file like this: python3 file.py
I have installed python2.7 and python3.6
Open Command Line to ~/.bash_profile I find that #Setting PATH for Python 3.6 , So
I change the path to PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.13/bin:${PATH}" ,
(please make sure your python2.7's path) ,then save.
It works for me.
Please try the following. If one doesn't work, skip to the next method.
pip install requests
or...
pip3 install requests
or...
python -m pip install requests
or...
python3 -m pip install requests
or...
python -m pip3 install requests
If all of these don't work, please leave a comment!
How does this work? Depending on the operating system you currently use, the pip command may vary or not work on some. These are the commands you may try in order for a fix.
In case you hit pip install requests and had an output massage of Requirement already satisfied but yet you still get the error: ImportError: No module named requests.
This is likely to happen when you find yourself in a different interpreter/virtual environment.
You can copy and append the path of the module into your working environment.
Note: This path usually comes with the message Requirement already satisfied
Before import requests, you should import sys and then append the copied path.
Example:
Command Prompt:
pip install requests
Output:
Requirement already satisfied: requests in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages
import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages")
import requests
My answer is basically the same as @pi-k. In my case my program worked locally but failed to build on QA servers. (I suspect devops had older versions of the package blocked and my version must have been too out-of-date) I just decided to upgrade everything
$ pip install pip-review
$ pip-review --local --interactive
You get an import error because requests are not a built-in module instead, it is created by someone else and you need to install the requests.
use the following command on your terminal then it will work correctly.
pip install requests
Install python requests library and this error will be solved.
