aiohttp-client-middlewares 0.1.0

Reusable client middlewares for aiohttp

Reusable client middlewares for aiohttp.

aiohttp-client-middlewares is a small, pure-Python collection of ready-to-use client middlewares for aiohttp. It currently provides DigestAuthMiddleware, vendored from aiohttp core; this package is the canonical home for it going forward.

Middlewares plug into aiohttp.ClientSession through the client middleware API introduced in aiohttp 3.12, so they can wrap every outgoing request without subclassing the session.

Installation

$ pip install aiohttp-client-middlewares

This requires aiohttp >= 3.12 (the first release with the client-middleware API and DigestAuthMiddleware) and yarl >= 1.17.0. Both are pulled in automatically.

Supported Python versions: 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14.

Quickstart

Pass one or more middlewares to aiohttp.ClientSession via the middlewares argument. DigestAuthMiddleware transparently performs the HTTP Digest authentication handshake for every request made with the session:

import asyncio

import aiohttp
from aiohttp_client_middlewares import DigestAuthMiddleware


async def main() -> None:
    digest = DigestAuthMiddleware("user", "pass")
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession(middlewares=(digest,)) as session:
        async with session.get("https://httpbin.org/digest-auth/auth/user/pass") as resp:
            print("Status:", resp.status)
            print("Body:", await resp.json())


asyncio.run(main())
