Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client library that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and trivial to integrate with web services. It allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests with various methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and others.
Guzzle also supports sending both synchronous and asynchronous requests, caching, and even has built-in support for OAuth 1.0a. Additionally, it can handle different HTTP errors and handle redirects automatically. It also has built-in support for serializing and deserializing data using formats like JSON and XML, as well as sending multipart file uploads.
Overall Guzzle is an easy to use and powerful library for working with HTTP in PHP.
Curl-cffi is a Python library for implementing curl-impersonate which is a
HTTP client that appears as one of popular web browsers like:
- Google Chrome
- Microsoft Edge
- Safari
- Firefox
Unlike requests and httpx which are native Python libraries, curl-cffi uses cURL and inherits it's powerful features
like extensive HTTP protocol support and detection patches for TLS and HTTP fingerprinting.
Using curl-cffi web scrapers can bypass TLS and HTTP fingerprinting.
Highlights
Example Use
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
// Create a client session:
$client = new Client();
// can also set session details like headers
$client = new Client([
'headers' => [
'User-Agent' => 'webscraping.fyi',
]
]);
// GET request:
$response = $client->get('http://httpbin.org/get');
// print all details
var_dump($response);
// or the important bits
printf("status: %s\n", $response->getStatusCode());
printf("headers: %s\n", json_encode($response->getHeaders(), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));
printf("body: %s", $response->getBody()->getContents());
// POST request
$response = $client->post(
'https://httpbin.org/post',
// for JSON use json argument:
['json' => ['query' => 'foobar', 'page' => 2]]
// or formdata use form_params:
// ['form_params' => ['query' => 'foobar', 'page' => 2]]
);
// For ASYNC requests getAsync function can be used:
$promise1 = $client->getAsync('https://httpbin.org/get');
$promise2 = $client->getAsync('https://httpbin.org/get?foo=bar');
// await it:
$results = Promise\unwrap([$promise1, $promise2]);
foreach ($results as $result) {
echo $result->getBody();
}
// or add promise callback
Promise\each([$promise1, $promise2], function ($response, $index, $callable) {
echo $response->getBody();
});
from curl_cffi import requests
response = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/json')
print(response.json())
# or using sessions
session = requests.Session()
response = session.get('https://httpbin.org/json')
# also supports async requests using asyncio
import asyncio
from curl_cffi.requests import AsyncSession
urls = [
"http://httpbin.org/html",
"http://httpbin.org/html",
"http://httpbin.org/html",
]
async with AsyncSession() as s:
tasks = []
for url in urls:
task = s.get(url)
tasks.append(task)
# scrape concurrently:
responses = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
# also supports websocket connections
from curl_cffi.requests import Session, WebSocket
def on_message(ws: WebSocket, message):
print(message)
with Session() as s:
ws = s.ws_connect(
"wss://api.gemini.com/v1/marketdata/BTCUSD",

)
