|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* Python 3.6, 3.7.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ pip install requests-async
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage:
|
|
|
|
Just use *the standard requests API*, but use `await` for making requests.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Use `ipython` to try this from the console, since it supports `await`.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import requests_async as requests
|
|
|
|
|
|
response = await requests.get('https://example.org')
|
|
print(response.status_code)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use explicit sessions.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
import requests_async as requests
|
|
|
|
|
|
with requests.Session() as session:
|
|
response = await requests.get('https://example.org')
|
|
print(response.status_code)
|
|
print(response.text)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `requests_async` package subclasses `requests`, so you're getting all the
|
|
standard behavior and API you'd expect.
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
* Streaming uploads and downloads are unsupported.
|
|
* SSL verification is not currently enabled.
|
|
* No timeout support yet.
|
|
|
|
See the [issues list][issues] for more details.
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives
|
|
|
|
The [`aiohttp` package][aiohttp] provides an alternative client for making async HTTP requests.
