cpr (C++ Requests) is a modern C++ HTTP client library that wraps libcurl with a simple, Python Requests-inspired API. It supports GET/POST/PUT/DELETE, authentication, cookies, proxies, timeouts, asynchronous requests, and server-sent events.

Use cases

• make http requests from c++
• call rest apis in c++ without raw libcurl
• send post requests with form data in c++
• download files over http in c++
• consume server-sent events in c++
• add basic or digest authentication to http calls in c++

When to choose

• you want a clean, idiomatic C++ API over libcurl instead of its error-prone C interface
• you need common HTTP features like auth, proxies, cookies, and async requests with minimal boilerplate
• your project uses C++17 and you want a well-maintained wrapper

When to avoid

• you need fine-grained control over every libcurl option
• you are not using C++ or need a header-only zero-dependency solution
• you need HTTP/2 or HTTP/3-specific features not exposed by the wrapper
