Requests is an HTTP client library for the Python programming language.[2][3]

Requests is one of the most downloaded Python libraries,[2] with over 300 million monthly downloads.[4] It maps the HTTP protocol onto Python's object-oriented semantics. Requests's design has inspired and been copied by HTTP client libraries for other programming languages.[5][6][7][8] It is implemented as a wrapper for urllib3, another third-party Python HTTP library.

Kenneth Reitz, the original author, handed control over to the Python Software Foundation in 2019[9] after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2015.[10]

Features

[edit]

Requests supports TLS/SSL verification, cookies, compression, SOCKS, timeouts, a variety of request methods, and custom headers.[2][11]
