curl-cffivsnestful
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.
Nestful is a Ruby library for making HTTP requests. It is designed to provide a simple, easy-to-use interface for making requests and handling responses. Nestful is often used for making requests to RESTful APIs.
One of the main features of Nestful is its ability to automatically parse JSON and XML responses and return them as Ruby objects. This allows developers to easily access the data returned by an API without having to manually parse the response.
Netful is aimed at interacting with rest APIs and provides a convenient interface (see example below)
Highlights
Example Use
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",
on_message=on_message,
)
ws.run_forever()
require 'nestful'
# GET request
response = Nestful.get('http://httpbin.org/get')
puts response.body
puts response.code
puts response.headers
# POST request
response = Nestful.post(
'http://httpbin.org/post',
:format => :json, :payload => { :title => 'foo', :body => 'bar', :userId => 1 }
)
puts response.body
# establish interface to a specific API
