| Description | # Requests **Requests** is a simple, yet elegant, HTTP library. ```python >>> import requests >>> r = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/pass', auth=('user', 'pass')) >>> r.status_code 200 >>> r.headers['content-type'] 'application/json; charset=utf8' >>> r.encoding 'utf-8' >>> r.text '{"authenticated": true, ...' >>> r.json() {'authenticated': True, ...} ``` 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 packages today, pulling in around `30M downloads / week`— according to GitHub, Requests is currently [depended upon](https://github.com/psf/requests/network/dependents?package_id=UGFja2FnZS01NzA4OTExNg%3D%3D) by `1,000,000+` repositories. You may certainly put your trust in this code. [](https://pepy.tech/project/requests) [](https://pypi.org/project/requests) [](https://github.com/psf/requests/graphs/contributors) ## Installing Requests and Supported Versions Requests is available on PyPI: ```console $ python -m pip install requests ``` Requests officially supports Python 3.7+. ## Supported Features & Best–Practices Requests is ready for the demands of building robust and reliable HTTP–speaking applications, for the needs of today. - Keep-Alive & Connection Pooling - International Domains and URLs - Sessions with Cookie Persistence - Browser-style TLS/SSL Verification - Basic & Digest Authentication - Familiar `dict`–like Cookies - Automatic Content Decompression and Decoding - Multi-part File Uploads - SOCKS Proxy Support - Connection Timeouts - Streaming Downloads - Automatic honoring of `.netrc` - Chunked HTTP Requests ## API Reference and User Guide available on [Read the Docs](https://requests.readthedocs.io) [](https://requests.readthedocs.io) ## Cloning the repository When cloning the Requests repository, you may need to add the `-c fetch.fsck.badTimezone=ignore` flag to avoid an error about a bad commit (see [this issue](https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/2690) for more background): ```shell git clone -c fetch.fsck.badTimezone=ignore https://github.com/psf/requests.git ``` You can also apply this setting to your global Git config: ```shell git config --global fetch.fsck.badTimezone ignore ``` --- [](https://kennethreitz.org) [](https://www.python.org/psf) |
