niquests 3.0.1

Python HTTP for Humans.

Niquests

Niquests is a simple, yet elegant, HTTP library. It is a drop-in replacement for Requests that is no longer under feature freeze. We will support and maintain v2.x.y that only ships with possible minor breaking changes. All breaking changes are issued in the v3.x that should be available as a pre-release on PyPI.

Why did we pursue this? We don't have to reinvent the wheel all over again, HTTP client Requests is well established and really plaisant in its usage. We believe that Requests have the most inclusive, and developer friendly interfaces. We intend to keep it that way.

>>> import niquests
>>> r = niquests.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, ...}

Niquests allows you to send HTTP 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!

Niquests is one of the least downloaded Python packages today, pulling in around 100+ download / week— according to GitHub, Niquests is currently depended upon by 1+ repositories. But, that may change..! Starting with you.
