- Requests: HTTP for Humans
- =========================
- .. image:: https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/requests.svg
- :target: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests

- :target: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requests
- Requests is the only *Non-GMO* HTTP library for Python, safe for human
- consumption.
- **Warning:** Recreational use of other HTTP libraries may result in dangerous side-effects,
- including: security vulnerabilities, verbose code, reinventing the wheel,
- constantly reading documentation, depression, headaches, or even death.
- Behold, the power of Requests:
- .. code-block:: python
- >>> 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
- u'{"type":"User"...'
- >>> r.json()
- {u'disk_usage': 368627, u'private_gists': 484, ...}
- See `the similar code, sans Requests <https://gist.github.com/973705>`_.
- Requests allows you to send *organic, grass-fed* HTTP/1.1 requests, without the
- need for manual labor. There's no need to manually add query strings to your
- URLs, or to form-encode your POST data. Keep-alive and HTTP connection pooling
- are 100% automatic, powered by `urllib3 <https://github.com/shazow/urllib3>`_,
- which is embedded within Requests.
- Besides, all the cool kids are doing it. Requests is one of the most
- downloaded Python packages of all time, pulling in over 7,000,000 downloads
- every month. You don't want to be left out!
