hrequests is a feature rich modern replacement for a famous requests library for Python. It provides a feature rich HTTP client capable of resisting popular scraper identification techniques: - Seamless transition between headless browser and http client based requests - Integrated HTML parser - Mimicking of real browser TLS fingerprints - Javascript rendering - HTTP2 support - Realistic browser headers

Excon is a Ruby library for making HTTP requests. It is designed to be fast and efficient, and is often used as a building block for other Ruby libraries and frameworks.

One of the main features of Excon is its support for persistent connections, which allows it to reuse the same connection for multiple requests, reducing the overhead of establishing a new connection for each request.

Excon also supports streaming requests and responses, which allows you to read or write data to the server incrementally, without having to load the entire response into memory at once.

Example Use


hrequests has almost identical API and UX as requests and here's a quick overview:
import hrequests

# perform HTTP client requests
resp = hrequests.get('https://httpbin.org/html')
print(resp.status_code)
# 200

# use headless browsers and sessions:
session = hrequests.Session('chrome', version=122, os="mac")

# supports asyncio and easy concurrency
requests = [
    hrequests.async_get('https://www.google.com/', browser='firefox'),
    hrequests.async_get('https://www.duckduckgo.com/'),
    hrequests.async_get('https://www.yahoo.com/'),
    hrequests.async_get('https://www.httpbin.org/'),
]
responses = hrequests.map(requests, size=3)  # max 3 conccurency
require 'excon'

# GET requests
response = Excon.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
puts response.body
puts response.status
puts response.headers

# POST requests
response = Excon.post('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts',
  :body => { :title => 'foo', :body => 'bar', :userId => 1 }.to_json,
  :headers => { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' } )
puts response.body
