pyreqwest-impersonate 0.4.2

HTTP client that can impersonate web browsers, mimicking their headers and `TLS/JA3/JA4/HTTP2` fingerprints

Pyreqwest_impersonate

The fastest python HTTP client that can impersonate web browsers by mimicking their headers and TLS/JA3/JA4/HTTP2 fingerprints.
Binding to the Rust reqwest_impersonate library.

Provides precompiled wheels:

• Linux|musl: amd64, aarch64.
• Windows: amd64.
• MacOS: amd64, aarch64.

Installation

pip install -U pyreqwest_impersonate

To improve the performance of the library for your particular processor, you can build the library yourself using Rust. Install Rust: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

git clone https://github.com/deedy5/pyreqwest_impersonate.git
cd pyreqwest_impersonate
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install maturin
RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" maturin develop --release  # Compiled library will be here: .venv/lib/python3.1x/site-packages

Key Features

• Impersonate: The Client offers an impersonate option, enabling it to mimic web browsers by replicating their headers and TLS/JA3/JA4/HTTP2 fingerprints.
• Thread-safe: The Client is designed to be thread-safe, allowing it to be safely used in multithreaded environments.
• Automatic Character Encoding Detection: The encoding is taken from the "Content-Type" header, but if not specified, "UTF-8". If encoding does not match the content, the package automatically detects and uses the correct encoding to decode the text.
• Small Size: The compiled library is about 5.8MB in size.
• High Performance: The library is designed for a large number of threads, uses all processors, and releases the GIL. All operations like accessing headers, decoding text, or parsing JSON are executed in Rust.

Usage

I. Client

HTTP client that can impersonate web browsers.

class Client:
    """Initializes an HTTP client that can impersonate web browsers.
    
    Args:
        auth (tuple, optional): A tuple containing the username and password for basic authentication. Default is None.
        auth_bearer (str, optional): Bearer token for authentication. Default is None.
        params (dict, optional): Default query parameters to include in all requests. Default is None.

        timeout (float, optional): HTTP request timeout in seconds. Default is 30.
        cookie_store (bool, optional): Enable a persistent cookie store. Received cookies will be preserved and included 
            in additional requests. Default is True.
        referer (bool, optional): Enable or disable automatic setting of the `Referer` header. Default is True.
        proxy (str, optional): Proxy URL for HTTP requests. Example: "socks5://127.0.0.1:9150". Default is None.
        impersonate (str, optional): Entity to impersonate. Example: "chrome_123". Default is None.

Client Methods

The Client class provides a set of methods for making HTTP requests: get, head, options, delete, post, put, patch, each of which internally utilizes the request() method for execution. The parameters for these methods closely resemble those in httpx.

def get(url, params=None, headers=None, auth=None, auth_bearer=None, timeout=None):
    """Performs a GET request to the specified URL.

    Args:
        url (str): The URL to which the request will be made.
        params (Optional[Dict[str, str]]): A map of query parameters to append to the URL. Default is None.
        headers (Optional[Dict[str, str]]): A map of HTTP headers to send with the request. Default is None.
        auth (Optional[Tuple[str, Optional[str]]]): A tuple containing the username and an optional password 
            for basic authentication. Default is None.
        auth_bearer (Optional[str]): A string representing the bearer token for bearer token authentication. Default is None.
        timeout (Optional[float]): The timeout for the request in seconds. Default is 30.

    """

def post(url, params=None, headers=None, content=None, data=None, files=None, auth=None, auth_bearer=None, timeout=None):
    """Performs a POST request to the specified URL.

    Args:
        url (str): The URL to which the request will be made.
        params (Optional[Dict[str, str]]): A map of query parameters to append to the URL. Default is None.
        headers (Optional[Dict[str, str]]): A map of HTTP headers to send with the request. Default is None.
        content (Optional[bytes]): The content to send in the request body as bytes. Default is None.
        data (Optional[Dict[str, str]]): The form data to send in the request body. Default is None.
        files (Optional[Dict[str, str]]): A map of file fields to file paths to be sent as multipart/form-data. Default is None.
        auth (Optional[Tuple[str, Optional[str]]]): A tuple containing the username and an optional password 
            for basic authentication. Default is None.
        auth_bearer (Optional[str]): A string representing the bearer token for bearer token authentication. Default is None.
        timeout (Optional[float]): The timeout for the request in seconds. Default is 30.

Example

import pyreqwest_impersonate as pri

client = pri.Client(impersonate="chrome_123")

# get request
resp = client.get("https://tls.peet.ws/api/all")
print(resp.json())

# post request
data = {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}
auth = ("user", "password")
resp = client.post(url="https://httpbin.org/anything", data=data, auth=auth)
print(resp.content)
print(resp.cookies)
print(resp.headers)
print(resp.json())
print(resp.status_code)
print(resp.text)
print(resp.url)

# You can also use convenience functions that use a default Client instance under the hood:
# pri.get() | pri.head() | pri.options() | pri.delete() | pri.post | pri.patch | pri.put
# These functions can accept the `impersonate` parameter:
resp = pri.get("https://httpbin.org/anything", impersonate="chrome_123")
