| Description | # Requests **Requests** is a simple, yet elegant HTTP library. ```python >>> import requests >>> r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass')) >>> r.status_code 200 >>> r.headers['content-type'] 'application/json; charset=utf8' >>> r.encoding 'utf-8' >>> r.text '{"type":"User"...' >>> r.json() {'disk_usage': 368627, 'private_gists': 484, ...} ``` Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. There’s no need to manually add query strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your `PUT` & `POST` data — but nowadays, just use the `json` method! Requests is one of the most downloaded Python package today, pulling in around `14M downloads / week`— according to GitHub, Requests is currently [depended upon](https://github.com/psf/requests/network/dependents?package_id=UGFja2FnZS01NzA4OTExNg%3D%3D) by `500,000+` repositories. You may certainly put your trust in this code.
