A Python 3 HTTP client library claiming to be much faster than the popular Requests library, implemented with a compiled core and minimal dependencies. It bundles features like WebSocket support and a built-in multi-threaded web scraper.

Use cases

• make faster http requests in python
• replace requests library with a faster alternative
• scrape websites with a built-in multithreaded scraper
• download files quickly from the web
• reduce dependencies in an http client
• fetch and nd from apis

When to choose

• you need maximum http request throughput in Python
• you want a lightweight client with few dependencies
• you need built-in web scraping or websocket support

When to avoid

• you need a battle-tested, widely-supported client like requests
• you rely on the requests plugin/extension ecosystem
• the project's maintenance status is a concern for production
