I'm fairly new to coding, and I'm currently making a Reddit bot in Python that when prompted to do so will search The Library of Babel for some phrase. I've come to understand that I will need to use requests.post(yadayada...) but I can't wrap my head around how the requests module works. Specifically, how can I use it to use the search function on that page, and then parse for the top result?

I've come to somewhat think I understand GET requests, but every time I think I learned something it turns out there's a billion new phrases, objects or variables that aren't explained anywhere I also need to know about. I'm still lost on what exactly a POST request does, and how to use it. So what parameters exactly do I need to use in order to search and parse, and what do they do?

  So there are sometimes some exceptions, but typically GET requests mean you're getting data from a website and POST requests mean that you're putting data in. BUT, sometimes POST do return data from the site or do both so this isn't concrete. IIRC GET requests can also sometimes technically post data to a site. Anyway, typically for your types problems, these websites will have something called an API which will allow you to interact with them in particular ways. So in this case, you'll likely send a POST request to implant text at the site, perform a search, and get data back
