Query: how to pass an http request in python

Relevant code:
def _request(self, method: str, endpoint: str, params: dict = None, data: dict = None, headers: dict = None) -> dict:
        """HTTP request method of interface implementation."""

Similar but not relevant code:
def call_api(self, resource_path, method,
                 path_params=None, query_params=None, header_params=None,
                 body=None, post_params=None, files=None,
                 response_type=None, auth_settings=None, asynchronous=None,
                 _return_http_data_only=None, collection_formats=None, _preload_content=True,
                 _request_timeout=None):

            the request will be called asynchronously.
            The method will return the request thread.

            then the method will return the response directly.
