RequestsThrottler 0.1.0

Python HTTP requests throttler

RequestsThrottler is an Apache2 Licensed HTTP library, written in Python, and powered by futures and Requests.

With RequestsThrottler you can easily throttle HTTP requests! After having created your throttler with a delay of your choice, you just have to:

1. Start the throttler

2. Submit your requests

3. Shutdown the throttler

Here’s an example:

bt = BaseThrottler(name='base-throttler', delay=1.5)
request = requests.Request(method='GET', url='http://www.google.com')

bt.start()
throttled_request = bt.submit(request)
bt.shutdown()

response = throttled_request.response

Too hard? Then just submit your requests inside a with statement! Here’s an example:

with BaseThrottler(name='base-throttler', delay=1.5):
    request = requests.Request(method='GET', url='http://www.google.com')
    throttled_request = bt.submit(request)

response = throttled_request.response

Try also the example.py by running:

>>> python -m requests_throttler.example
