What do you like best about requests?

Let's see: Easy to use, fast, easy to configure proxies, easy to catch errors, lots of resources online teaching about requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about requests?

Nothing comes to mind. If you already know HTTP requests, learning how to use this tool isn't hard at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering requests:

Requests is an essential tool for automating, testing, and accessing websites and APIs. This is not a complicated tool; it's quite easy to understand and learn how to use it, but don't get me wrong, Requests also possess more complex functions, such as preserving cookies between requests with Sessions and the ability to use HTTP and HTTPS proxies. This is a tool I always use when creating scripts for online automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use to bulk download files, to check if links are online, to download data about images when possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about requests?

Requests is easy to use, even if you are new to Python or HTTP request; you can preserve cookies and headers across requests with ease using Session, easy to use proxies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about requests?

I don't have complaints or something I dislike. Most errors I come across are my fault, bad coding, failing to configure proxies or forgetting to use cookies, little mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering requests:

The requests library is well documented with an active community, you can easily find the answer for most questions. Another advantage is Session, which helps preserve cookies, headers across requests and for me, in-built solutions are always welcome, and you don't need to import additional library if the response returns JSON.

I use requests in all scripts I create to help me download and properly label images for my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
