## What it is
hrequests is a Python HTTP client library that replaces the requests library with browser TLS fingerprint replication, HTTP/2 support, and fast concurrency via a Go backend and gevent. It also integrates headless browser automation with anti-detect browsing (Camoufox/Patchright), JavaScript rendering, and a built-in HTML parser.

## Use cases
- scrape websites that block python requests via tls fingerprinting
- render javascript pages while scraping
- make concurrent http requests in python
- replace requests library with browser-like headers
- automate a headless browser with anti-detection
- parse html from scraped pages
- scrape sites behind cloudflare

## When to choose
- you need requests-like ergonomics but with realistic browser TLS fingerprints and headers
- you want to mix plain HTTP requests and full browser rendering in one library
- you need high-concurrency scraping with gevent/goroutine performance
- you need anti-detect browsing with human-like input simulation

## When to avoid
- you just need a simple, dependency-light HTTP client without scraping features
- you need a language other than Python
- you require a battle-tested minimal client like httpx or requests for plain API calls
- you need distributed large-scale scraping infrastructure rather than a client library
