HTTP3 is a next-generation HTTP client for Python 3.
Note: This project should be considered as an "alpha" release. It is substantially API complete, but there are still some areas that need more work.
Let's get started...
>>> import http3
>>> r = http3.get('https://www.example.org/')
>>> r
<Response [200 OK]>
>>> r.status_code
200
>>> r.protocol
'HTTP/2'
>>> r.headers['content-type']
'text/html; charset=UTF-8'
>>> r.text
'<!doctype html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<title>Example Domain</title>...'
HTTP3 builds on the well-established usability of requests, and gives you:
async/await support if you need it.Plus all the standard features of requests...
Install with pip:
$ pip install http3
HTTP3 requires Python 3.6+
Project documentation is available at www.encode.io/http3/.
For a run-through of all the basics, head over to the QuickStart.
For more advanced topics, see the Advanced Usage section, or the specific topics on making Parallel Requests or using the Async Client.
The Developer Interface provides a comprehensive API reference.
The HTTP3 project relies on these excellent libraries:
h2 - HTTP/2 support.h11 - HTTP/1.1 support.certifi - SSL certificates.chardet - Fallback auto-detection for response encoding.idna - Internationalized domain name support.rfc3986 - URL parsing & normalization.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.
