[!WARNING] This python package is currently in beta and will likely change. It is not yet ready for production use.

A lightweight SSE client that uses the httpx package based on httpx-sse.

Installation

pip install simple-sse-client

Usage

Synchronous

from simple_sse_client import stream

for event in stream("https://example.com/sse"):
    print(event)

Asynchronous

from simple_sse_client import async_stream

async for event in async_stream("https://example.com/sse"):
    print(event)

Interface

The stream and async_stream functions follow the httpx.request() interface.

stream(method, url, *, params=None, content=None, data=None, files=None, json=None, headers=None, cookies=None, auth=None, proxy=None, timeout=Timeout(timeout=5.0), follow_redirects=False, verify=True, trust_env=True)

async_stream(method, url, *, params=None, content=None, data=None, files=None, json=None, headers=None, cookies=None, auth=None, proxy=None, timeout=Timeout(timeout=5.0), follow_redirects=False, verify=True, trust_env=True)

Both functions connect to an SSE endpoint and yield ServerSentEvent objects.

Parameters:

• method - HTTP method (GET, OPTIONS, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE).
• url - URL.
• params - (Optional) Query parameters to include in the URL, as a string, dictionary, or sequence of two-tuples.
• content - (Optional) Binary content to include in the body of the request, as bytes or a byte iterator.
• data - (Optional) Form data to include in the body of the request, as a dictionary.
• files - (Optional) A dictionary of upload files to include in the body of the request.
• json - (Optional) A JSON serializable object to include in the body of the request.
• headers - (Optional) Dictionary of HTTP headers to include in the request.
• cookies - (Optional) Dictionary of Cookie items to include in the request.
• auth - (Optional) An authentication class to use when sending the request.
• proxy - (Optional) A proxy URL where all the traffic should be routed.
• timeout - (Optional) The timeout configuration to use when sending the request.
• follow_redirects - (Optional) Enables or disables HTTP redirects.
• verify - (Optional) Either True to use an SSL context with the default CA bundle, False to disable verification, or an instance of ssl.SSLContext to use a custom context.
• trust_env - (Optional) Enables or disables usage of environment variables for configuration.

stream returns an Iterator[ServerSentEvent] and async_stream returns an AsyncIterator[ServerSentEvent].
