<p align=”center”><strong>Requests</strong> is an elegant and simple HTTP library for Python, built with ♥.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

`python >>> import requests >>> r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass')) >>> r.status_code 200 >>> r.headers['content-type'] 'application/json; charset=utf8' >>> r.encoding 'utf-8' >>> r.text '{"type":"User"...' >>> r.json() {'disk_usage': 368627, 'private_gists': 484, ...} `


<p>&nbsp;</p>

Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 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!

Requests is one of the most downloaded Python package today, pulling in around 14M downloads / week— according to GitHub, Requests is currently [depended upon](https://github.com/psf/requests/network/dependents?package_id=UGFja2FnZS01NzA4OTExNg%3D%3D) by 500,000+ repositories. You may certainly put your trust in this code.
