primpvsrequests
Primp is a Python HTTP client that impersonates real web browsers by replicating their TLS fingerprints, HTTP/2 settings, and header ordering. It is a lightweight alternative to curl-cffi for bypassing TLS and HTTP fingerprinting-based bot detection.
Key features include:
- Browser impersonation Can impersonate Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and OkHttp clients by replicating their exact TLS fingerprints (JA3/JA4), HTTP/2 frame settings, header ordering, and other connection-level characteristics.
- HTTP/2 support Full HTTP/2 support with configurable settings that match real browser behavior.
- Lightweight Smaller and simpler than curl-cffi while providing similar impersonation capabilities. Built on Rust for performance.
- Familiar API Provides a requests-like API with Session support, making it easy to adopt for developers familiar with the Python requests library.
- Proxy support HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy support with authentication.
- Cookie management Automatic cookie handling across requests within a session.
Primp fills a similar niche to curl-cffi and hrequests — HTTP clients designed to avoid TLS/HTTP fingerprinting — but takes a Rust-powered approach for better performance. It is particularly useful when you need to bypass bot detection that relies on connection-level fingerprinting without using a full browser.
PHP library "Requests" is an HTTP library written in PHP, for making HTTP requests. It's heavily inspired by a popular Python library called Requests and aims for the same goals of simplifying HTTP client complexities.
It abstracts the complexities of making requests behind a simple API so that you can focus on interacting with services and consuming data in your application.
Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH HTTP requests. You can add headers, form data, multipart files, and parameters with basic arrays, and access the response data in the same way.
Requests uses cURL and fsockopen, depending on what your system has available, but abstracts all the nasty stuff out of your way, providing a consistent API.
