Requests: HTTP for Humans

Requests is the only *Non-GMO* HTTP library for Python, safe for human
|
||||
consumption.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Behold, the power of Requests:
|
||||
|
||||
``` {.sourceCode .python}
|
||||
>>> 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
|
||||
u'{"type":"User"...'
|
||||
>>> r.json()
|
||||
{u'disk_usage': 368627, u'private_gists': 484, ...}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See [the similar code, sans Requests](https://gist.github.com/973705).
|
||||
|
||||
[](http://docs.python-requests.org/)
|
||||
|
||||
Requests allows you to send *organic, grass-fed* HTTP/1.1 requests,
|
||||
without the need for manual labor. There's no need to manually add query
|
||||
strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your POST data. Keep-alive and
|
||||
HTTP connection pooling are 100% automatic, thanks to
|
||||
[urllib3](https://github.com/shazow/urllib3).
|
||||
|
||||
Besides, all the cool kids are doing it. Requests is one of the most
|
||||
downloaded Python packages of all time, pulling in over 11,000,000
|
||||
downloads every month. You don't want to be left out!

||||
