Have you made sure that you have installed the module by running

pip install requests

or

pip3 install requests

Additionally, you can tell VS Code to use different Python-interpreter in your system. I e.g. had the same problem, that VS Code code check gave me the warning, that I don't have the module requests installed, but when I run the python script it worked anyhow. That's why I believe that the python code check in VS Code can use different Python versions and related python packages than your system use when you run the code.

What helped me in order to get rid of the VS Code error message, choosing a different Python from here:

I got the same error and solved it with this:

import pip._vendor.requests 

The solution is to change the interpreter. I solved this conflict by going to 3.8.8 (conda) from 3.9.9 (windows).

From VS code terminal set venv - C:\Python310\python.exe -m venv 'PATH_TO_VENV\.venv\'

After this verify packages are available

pip list

if required:

pip install requests

This solved my problem

1. Open interpreters
2. Try all of them one by one

The problem is you might have installed the module in one env and not in the other one, so either install in each or try each of them!
