HTTPX2 is a fully featured HTTP client library for Python, maintained by Pydantic as a continuation of HTTPX. It offers sync and async APIs, HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 support, a requests-compatible interface, and an integrated command-line client.

Use cases

  • make http requests in python
  • call rest apis from python
  • async http client for python
  • migrate from requests to a maintained http client
  • test wsgi or asgi apps with a real client
  • send http requests from the command line

When to choose

  • you need a maintained, security-patched successor to HTTPX
  • you want requests-like ergonomics with async and HTTP/2 support
  • you need to test ASGI/WSGI applications directly

When to avoid

  • you are happy with HTTPX or aiohttp and don't need a new steward
  • you need a minimal dependency-free client like urllib
