HTTPX is a fully featured HTTP client for Python 3, which provides sync and async APIs, and support for both HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: _HTTPX should be considered in beta. We believe we've got the public API to
|
|
a stable point now, but would strongly recommend pinning your dependencies to the `0.15.*`
|
|
release, so that you're able to properly review [API changes between package updates](https://github.com/encode/httpx/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md). A 1.0 release is expected to be issued sometime in late 2020._
|
|

|
|
|
|
Let's get started...
|
|
|
|
```pycon
|
|
>>> import httpx
|
|
>>> r = httpx.get('https://www.example.org/')
|
|
>>> r
|
|
<Response [200 OK]>
|
|
>>> r.status_code
|
|
200
|
|
>>> r.headers['content-type']
|
|
'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
|
|
>>> r.text
|
|
'<!doctype html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<title>Example Domain</title>...'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, using the async API...
|
|
|
|
_Use [IPython](https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) or Python 3.8+ with `python -m asyncio` to try this code interactively._
|
|
|
|
```pycon
|
|
>>> import httpx
|
|
>>> async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
|
|
>>> r = await client.get('https://www.example.org/')
|
|
>>> r
|
|
<Response [200 OK]>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
HTTPX builds on the well-established usability of `requests`, and gives you:
|
|
|
|
* A broadly [requests-compatible API](https://www.python-httpx.org/compatibility/).
|
|
* Standard synchronous interface, but with [async support if you need it](https://www.python-httpx.org/async/).
|
|
* HTTP/1.1 [and HTTP/2 support](https://www.python-httpx.org/http2/).
|
|
* Ability to make requests directly to [WSGI applications](https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/#calling-into-python-web-apps) or [ASGI applications](https://www.python-httpx.org/async/#calling-into-python-web-apps).
|
|
* Strict timeouts everywhere.
|
|
* Fully type annotated.
|
|
* 100% test coverage.
|
|
|
|
Plus all the standard features of `requests`...
|
|
|
|
* International Domains and URLs
|
|
* Keep-Alive & Connection Pooling
|
|
* Sessions with Cookie Persistence
|
|
* Browser-style SSL Verification
|
|
* Basic/Digest Authentication
|
|
* Elegant Key/Value Cookies
|
|
* Automatic Decompression
|
|
* Automatic Content Decoding
|
|
* Unicode Response Bodies
|
|
* Multipart File Uploads
|
|
* HTTP(S) Proxy Support
|
|
* Connection Timeouts
|
|
* Streaming Downloads
|
|
* .netrc Support
|
|
* Chunked Requests
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Install with pip:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ pip install httpx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, to include the optional HTTP/2 support, use:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ pip install httpx[http2]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
HTTPX requires Python 3.6+.

## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
The HTTPX project relies on these excellent libraries:
|
|
|
|
* `httpcore` - The underlying transport implementation for `httpx`.
|
|
* `h11` - HTTP/1.1 support.
|
|
* `h2` - HTTP/2 support. *(Optional)*
|
|
* `certifi` - SSL certificates.
|
|
* `rfc3986` - URL parsing & normalization.
|
|
* `idna` - Internationalized domain name support.
|
|
* `sniffio` - Async library autodetection.
|
|
* `brotlipy` - Decoding for "brotli" compressed responses. *(Optional)*
|
|
|
|
A huge amount of credit is due to `requests` for the API layout that
|
|
much of this work follows, as well as to `urllib3` for plenty of design
|
|
inspiration around the lower-level networking details.
