# Using your Client's `send_request` Method

In this doc, we will be showing how to build your own ***http requests*** and how to send these requests directly to the service using the ***send_request*** method.

Here's how to get started:

```python
>>> from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
>>> from azure.example.service import ExampleClient
>>> from azure.core.rest import HttpRequest, HttpResponse
>>> client = ExampleClient(endpoint="https://www.example.org/", credential=DefaultAzureCredential())
>>> request = HttpRequest(method="GET", url="https://www.example.org")
>>> request
<HttpRequest [GET], url: "https://www.example.org">
>>> response = client.send_request(request)
>>> response
<HttpResponse: 200 OK, Content-Type: text/plain>
>>> response.raise_for_status()
>>> response.text()
'Happy to see you!'
```

## Code Snippets

**End-to-end code snippets for creating and sending requests with `send_request`**:

1. [Sync client](#sync-client)
2. [Async client](#async-client)

## Steps To Make a Call

1. [Create a request](#1-create-a-request "Create a Request")
2. [Send the request](#2-send-the-request "Send the Request")
3. [Handle the response](#3-handle-the-response "Handle the Response")

We will go into each step in the following sections. To initialize and authenticate your client, please follow your client's README examples.

## 1. Create a Request

First, we will go over how to create the [`HttpRequest`][azure_core_http_request] you want to be sent to the service.

We will be making a `POST` request with a `JSON` body. The following code snippet uses a relative url, which will be relative
to your client's `endpoint`. You can also pass in a full-path url, and we will honor that full path.

```python
from azure.core.rest import HttpRequest

# this URL is relative to the endpoint we passed our client
request = HttpRequest(
method="POST",
url="/helloWorld",
json={"document": "Hello world!"},
params={"language": "en"}
)
```

## 2. Send the Request

Now, we pass this request to your client's `send_request` method. This actually makes the network call.

```python
from azure.example.service import ExampleClient

response = client.send_request(request) # makes the network call
```

## 3. Handle the Response

Our `send_request` call returns an [`HttpResponse`][azure_core_http_response].

### Error handling

The response you get back from `send_request` will not automatically raise if your response is an error.
If you wish to raise an error if your response is bad, call [`.raise_for_status()`][azure_core_raise_for_status] on your returned
response.

```python
try:
response.raise_for_status() # raises an error if your response is not good
except HttpResponseError as e:
print(str(e))
```

### JSON response

If the response you get back should be a `json` object, you can call `.json()` on your response
to get it `json`-deserialized.

Putting this all together, see our code snippets for how you can deal with your response object

```python

response = client.send_request(request)
try:
response.raise_for_status() # raises an error if your response is not good
json_response = response.json() # get your response as a json object
# Now play with your JSON response!

except HttpResponseError as e:
print(str(e))
```

## Examples

### Sync Client

```python
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.example.service import ExampleClient
from azure.core.rest import HttpRequest, HttpResponse
from azure.core.exceptions import HttpResponseError

client = ExampleClient(
endpoint="https://example.org",
credential=DefaultAzureCredential()
)

request = HttpRequest(
method="POST",
url="/helloWorld",
json={"document": "Hello world!"},
params={"language": "en"}
)

response = client.send_request(request) # returns an azure.core.rest.HttpResponse

try:
response.raise_for_status()
json_response = response.json()
# Play with your response!
print(json_response["language"])
except HttpResponseError:
print(str(e))
```

### Async Client

```python
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.example.service.aio import ExampleClient
from azure.core.rest import HttpRequest, AsyncHttpResponse
from azure.core.exceptions import HttpResponseError

request = HttpRequest(
method="POST",
url="/helloWorld",
json={"document": "Hello world!"},
params={"language": "en"}
)

with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:
with ExampleClient(endpoint="https://example.org", credential=credential) as client:
response = await client.send_request(request)

try:
response.raise_for_status()
await response.load_body()
json_response = response.json() # returns an azure.core.rest.AsyncHttpResponse
# Play with your response!
print(json_response["language"])
except HttpResponseError:
print(str(e))
```

## Troubleshooting

### Errors

All errors thrown by `.raise_for_error()` are [exceptions defined in `azure-core`][azure_core_exceptions].

### Logging

Our clients also have logging support. They use the standard
[logging][python_logging] library for logging.
Basic information about HTTP sessions (URLs, headers, etc.) is logged at INFO
level.

Detailed DEBUG level logging, including request/response bodies and un-redacted
headers, can be enabled on a client with the `logging_enable` keyword argument.

```python
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.example.service import ExampleClient

client = ExampleClient(
endpoint="https://example.org",
credential=DefaultAzureCredential(),
logging_enable=True
)
```
