Python HTTP for Humans.
Project description
Requests
Requests is a simple, yet elegant, HTTP library.
>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.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, ...}
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 packages today, pulling in around 30M downloads / week
— according to GitHub, Requests is currently depended upon by 1,000,000+
repositories. You may certainly put your trust in this code.

Cloning the repository
When cloning the Requests repository, you may need to add the -c fetch.fsck.badTimezone=ignore
flag to avoid an error about a bad commit (see
this issue for more background):
git clone -c fetch.fsck.badTimezone=ignore https://github.com/psf/requests.git
You can also apply this setting to your global Git config:
git config --global fetch.fsck.badTimezone ignore
