## What it is
Requestium is a Python library that merges Requests, Selenium, and Parsel into a single integrated tool for web automation. It lets scripts written mostly with Requests seamlessly switch to a Selenium webdriver for JavaScript-heavy pages while maintaining the same session.

## Use cases
- scrape websites that mix static and JavaScript-heavy pages
- switch from requests to selenium while keeping cookies and session
- write cleaner xpath and css selectors with parsel integration
- automate login flows and cookie handling across http and browser
- wait reliably for dynamically loading elements in selenium
- run headless browser automation scripts in python

## When to choose
- your automation script mostly uses Requests but needs a real browser for some pages
- you want to keep one session across HTTP requests and Selenium
- you want cleaner selectors and more reliable element waiting/clicking than raw Selenium

## When to avoid
- you only need plain HTTP requests with no JavaScript rendering
- you need a full browser automation framework like Playwright with multi-browser support
- you are building a large-scale distributed crawler rather than scripted automation

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: http-client, web-scraping, parser
- domain: web-development, crawlers, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: selenium, requests, parsel, web-automation, session-management, browser-automation, automation
