Installation

pip install -U pyreqwest_impersonate

Features

• Impersonate: impersonate option mimics web browsers by replicating their headers and TLS/JA3/JA4/HTTP2 fingerprints.
• Automatic Character Encoding Detection: the encoding is taken from the Content-Type header or <meta ... charset= within the html, or if not found, UTF-8. If the encoding does not match the content, the library automatically detects and uses the correct encoding to decode the text.
• Html2text: the text_plain|text_markdown response attributes extract plain|markdown text from html.
• All decoders: gzip, brotli, zstd are already included and do not require third party packages.
• Small Size: the compiled library is about 6.9MB in size.
• High Performance: the library is designed for a large number of threads, uses all processors, and releases the GIL.
• Thread-safe: library can be safely used in multithreaded environments.

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: str, 
    params: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, 
    headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, 
    cookies: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, 
    auth: Optional[Tuple[str, Optional[str]]] = None, 
    auth_bearer: Optional[str] = None, 
    timeout: Optional[float] = 30,
):
    """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.
        cookies (Optional[Dict[str, str]]): - An optional map of cookies to send with requests as the `Cookie` header.
        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.
