Installing the Python Requests Module

HTTP requests are very simple to make using the Requests module. Use the following functions to make any kind of basic HTTP request:
```python
requests.get('https://api.placeholderurl.com')
requests.post('https://placeholderurl.com/post', data = {'key', 'value'})
requests.put('https://placeholderurl.com/put', data = {'key', 'value'})
requests.delete('https://placeholderurl.com/delete')
requests.head('https://placeholderurl.com/get')
requests.options('https://placeholderurl.com/get')
```
Each function requires a URL parameter as a string, and both post and put require a dictionary parameter containing the relevant data you would like to send. Each function returns a Response object.
