A smart wrapper over requests with built-in delays and headers.
Project description
smartrequests 🚀
A smart, lightweight wrapper over Python’s popular requests library — with built-in delays and a Googlebot-style user-agent to mimic human or bot-like behavior.
🔍 Why smartrequests?
Web crawling, scraping, and SEO testing often require:
- Respectful delays to avoid rate-limiting
- Realistic headers like search engine bots
- Simple, scriptable interface
smartrequests solves this with:
- ✅ Randomized delay per request
- ✅ Googlebot-style
User-Agent - ✅ Simple plug-and-play interface
- ✅ CLI support via
smartreqcommand
✨ Features
- 🕒 Auto-delay between requests (0.5s to 1.5s)
- 🕵️♂️ Custom
User-Agent:SmartBot/1.0 (like Googlebot) - 🔗 Drop-in replacement for
requests.Session() - 🔧 Command-line support (
smartreq <URL>) - 📦 Lightweight, no extra dependencies except
requests
📦 Installation
pip install smartrequests
⚙️ Usage (Python)
from smartrequests import SmartSession
session = SmartSession()
response = session.get("https://example.com")
print(response.status_code)
print(response.text[:500]) # Preview first 500 chars
🖥️ Usage (CLI)
smartreq https://example.com
Output:
[smartrequests] GET https://example.com (delay 0.92s)
