How to URLEncode a Query String in Python

We can make use of the urlencode function from urllib.parse module to do a URL encoding.

Let's take a few examples.

Example 1

from urllib.parse import urlencode

product_query_params = {
    'product': 'Smart Phone',
    'name': "iPhone 15",
    'model': 15
}

product_url_encoded_query = urlencode(product_query_params)

print("URL-encoded Query String:", product_url_encoded_query)

Output:
URL-encoded Query String: product=Smart+Phone&name=iPhone+15&model=15

Example 2:

from urllib.parse import urlencode

movie_details_query_data = {
    'title': 'Inception',
    'year': 2010,
    'director': 'Christopher Nolan',
    'genre': 'Science Fiction',
    'rating': 8.8,
}

url_encoded_movie_details = urlencode(movie_details_query_data)

print(url_encoded_movie_details)

Output:
URL-encoded Query String: title=Inception&year=2010&director=Christopher+Nolan&genre=Science+Fiction&rating=8.8
