Helper Functions

!!! note Only use these functions if you're testing HTTPX in a console or making a small number of requests. Using a Client will enable HTTP/2 and connection pooling for more efficient and long-lived connections.

::: httpx.request :docstring:

::: httpx.get :docstring:

::: httpx.options :docstring:

::: httpx.head :docstring:

::: httpx.post :docstring:

::: httpx.put :docstring:

::: httpx.patch :docstring:

::: httpx.delete :docstring:

::: httpx.stream :docstring:

Client

::: httpx.Client :docstring: :members: headers cookies params auth request get head options post put patch delete stream build_request send close

AsyncClient

::: httpx.AsyncClient :docstring: :members: headers cookies params auth request get head options post put patch delete stream build_request send aclose

Response

An HTTP response.

  • def __init__(...)
  • .status_code - int
  • .reason_phrase - str
  • .http_version - "HTTP/2" or "HTTP/1.1"
  • .url - URL
  • .headers - Headers
  • .content - bytes
  • .text - str
  • .encoding - str
  • .is_redirect - bool
  • .request - Request
  • .next_request - Optional[Request]
  • .cookies - Cookies
  • .history - List[Response]
  • .elapsed - timedelta
    • The amount of time elapsed between sending the request and calling close() on the corresponding response received for that request. total_seconds() to correctly get the total elapsed seconds.
  • def .raise_for_status() - Response
  • def .json() - Any
  • def .read() - bytes
  • def .iter_raw([chunk_size]) - bytes iterator
  • def .iter_bytes([chunk_size]) - bytes iterator
  • def .iter_text([chunk_size]) - text iterator
  • def .iter_lines() - text iterator
  • def .close() - None
  • def .next() - Response
  • def .aread() - bytes
  • def .aiter_raw([chunk_size]) - async bytes iterator
  • def .aiter_bytes([chunk_size]) - async bytes iterator
  • def .aiter_text([chunk_size]) - async text iterator
  • def .aiter_lines() - async text iterator
  • def .aclose() - None
  • def .anext() - Response

Request

An HTTP request. Can be constructed explicitly for more control over exactly what gets sent over the wire.

>>> request = httpx.Request("GET", "https://example.org", headers={'host': 'example.org'})
>>> response = client.send(request)
  • def __init__(method, url, [params], [headers], [cookies], [content], [data], [files], [json], [stream])
  • .method - str
  • .url - URL
  • .content - byte, byte iterator, or byte async iterator
  • .headers - Headers
  • .cookies - Cookies

URL

A normalized, IDNA supporting URL.

>>> url = URL("https://example.org/")
>>> url.host
'example.org'

>>> from pydantic import HttpUrl
>>> pydantic_url = HttpUrl("https://example.org/")
>>> url = URL(pydantic_url)
>>> url.host
'example.org'
  • def __init__(url, **kwargs)
  • .scheme - str
  • .authority - str
  • .host - str
  • .port - int
  • .path - str
  • .query - str
  • .raw_path - str
  • .fragment - str
  • .is_ssl - bool
  • .is_absolute_url - bool
  • .is_relative_url - bool
  • def .copy_with([scheme], [authority], [path], [query], [fragment]) - URL

Headers

A case-insensitive multi-dict.

>>> headers = Headers({'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
>>> headers['content-type']
'application/json'
  • def __init__(self, headers, encoding=None)
  • def copy() - Headers

Cookies

A dict-like cookie store.

>>> cookies = Cookies()
>>> cookies.set("name", "value", domain="example.org")
  • def __init__(cookies: [dict, Cookies, CookieJar])
  • .jar - CookieJar
  • def extract_cookies(response)
  • def set_cookie_header(request)
  • def set(name, value, [domain], [path])
  • def get(name, [domain], [path])
  • def delete(name, [domain], [path])
  • def clear([domain], [path])
  • Standard mutable mapping interface
