# httpr

**Blazing fast http-client** for Python in Rust 🦀 that can be used as drop-in replacement for `httpx` and `requests` in most cases.

- **Fast**: `httpr` is built on top of `reqwests`, which is a blazing fast http client in Rust. Check out the [benchmark](#benchmark).
- **Both async and sync**: `httpr` provides both a sync and async client.
- **Lightweight**: `httpr` is a lightweight http client with zero python-dependencies.
- **Async**: first-class async support.
- **Streaming**: supports streaming responses for efficient memory usage with large payloads.
- **http2**: `httpr` supports HTTP/2.
- **mTLS**: `httpr` supports mTLS.

#### Client methods

The `Client` class provides a set of methods for making HTTP requests: `get`, `head`, `options`, `delete`, `post`, `put`, `patch`, each of which internally utilizes the `request()` method for execution. The parameters for these methods closely resemble those in `httpx`.
```python
def get(
    url: str,
    params: dict[str, str] | None = None,
    headers: dict[str, str] | None = None,
    cookies: dict[str, str] | None = None,
    auth: tuple[str, str| None] | None = None,
    auth_bearer: str | None = None,
    timeout: float | None = 30,
):
    """Performs a GET request to the specified URL.

    Args:
        url (str): The URL to which the request will be made.
        params (dict[str, str] | None): A map of query parameters to append to the URL. Default is None.
        headers (dict[str, str] | None): A map of HTTP headers to send with the request. Default is None.
        cookies (dict[str, str] | None): - An optional map of cookies to send with requests as the `Cookie` header.
        auth (tuple[str, str| None] | None): A tuple containing the username and an optional password
            for basic authentication. Default is None.
        auth_bearer (str | None): A string representing the bearer token for bearer token authentication. Default is None.
        timeout (float | None): The timeout for the request in seconds. Default is 30.

    """
```
```python
def post(
    url: str,
    params: dict[str, str] | None = None,
    headers: dict[str, str] | None = None,
    cookies: dict[str, str] | None = None,
    content: bytes | None = None,
    data: dict[str, Any] | None = None,
    json: Any | None = None,
    files: dict[str, str] | None = None,
    auth: tuple[str, str| None] | None = None,
    auth_bearer: str | None = None,
    timeout: float | None = 30,
):
    """Performs a POST request to the specified URL.

    Args:
        url (str): The URL to which the request will be made.
        params (dict[str, str] | None): A map of query parameters to append to the URL. Default is None.
        headers (dict[str, str] | None): A map of HTTP headers to send with the request. Default is None.
        cookies (dict[str, str] | None): - An optional map of cookies to send with requests as the `Cookie` header.
        content (bytes | None): The content to send in the request body as bytes. Default is None.

        auth (tuple[str, str| None] | None): A tuple containing the username and an optional password
            for basic authentication. Default is None.
        auth_bearer (str | None): A string representing the bearer token for bearer token authentication. Default is None.
        timeout (float | None): The timeout for the request in seconds. Default is 30.

    """
```

#### Response object

The `Client` class returns a `Response` object that contains the following attributes and methods:

```python
resp.content
resp.cookies
resp.encoding
resp.headers
resp.json()
resp.status_code
resp.text
resp.text_markdown  # html is converted to markdown text using html2text-rs
resp.text_plain  # html is converted to plain text
resp.text_rich  # html is converted to rich text
resp.url
```

#### Streaming responses

The `Client` class supports streaming responses for efficient memory usage when handling large payloads. Use the `stream()` context manager to iterate over response data without buffering the entire response in memory.

```python
# Stream bytes chunks
with client.stream("GET", "https://example.com/large-file") as response:
    print(f"Status: {response.status_code}")
    for chunk in response.iter_bytes():
        process(chunk)

# Stream text chunks
with client.stream("GET", "https://example.com/text") as response:
    for text in response.iter_text():
        print(text, end="")

# Stream line by line (useful for Server-Sent Events)
with client.stream("GET", "https://example.com/events") as response:
    for line in response.iter_lines():
        print(line.strip())

# Read entire response (if needed after checking headers)
with client.stream("GET", url) as response:
    if response.status_code == 200:
        content = response.read()
```

**StreamingResponse attributes:**
- `status_code` - HTTP status code
- `headers` - Response headers (case-insensitive)
- `cookies` - Response cookies
- `url` - Final URL after redirects
- `is_closed` - Whether the stream has been closed
- `is_consumed` - Whether the stream has been fully consumed

**StreamingResponse methods:**
- `iter_bytes()` - Iterate over response as bytes chunks
- `iter_text()` - Iterate over response as text chunks (decoded using response encoding)
- `iter_lines()` - Iterate over response line by line
- `read()` - Read entire remaining response body into memory
- `close()` - Close the stream and release resources

**Important notes:**
- Streaming must be used as a context manager (with statement)
- Headers, cookies, and status code are available immediately before reading the body
- The response body is only read when you iterate over it or call `read()`
- Once consumed, the stream cannot be read again
- Streaming is supported for all HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS)

#### Examples

```python
import httpr

# Initialize the client
client = httpr.Client() 

# GET request
resp = client.get("https://tls.peet.ws/api/all")
print(resp.json())

# GET request with passing params and setting timeout
params = {"param1": "value1", "param2": "value2"}
resp = client.post(url="https://httpbin.org/anything", params=params, timeout=10)
print(r.text)

# POST Binary Request Data
content = b"some_data"
resp = client.post(url="https://httpbin.org/anything", content=content)
print(r.text)

# POST Form Encoded Data
data = {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}
resp = client.post(url="https://httpbin.org/anything", data=data)
print(r.text)

# POST JSON Encoded Data
json = {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}
resp = client.post(url="https://httpbin.org/anything", json=json)
print(r.text)

# POST Multipart-Encoded Files
files = {'file1': '/home/root/file1.txt', 'file2': 'home/root/file2.txt'}
r = client.post("https://httpbin.org/post", files=files)
print(r.text)

# Authentication using user/password
auth = ("user", "password")
resp = client.post(url="https://httpbin.org/anything", auth=auth)
print(r.text)

# Authentication using auth bearer
auth_bearer = "bearerXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
resp = client.post(url="https://httpbin.org/anything", auth_bearer=auth_bearer)
print(r.text)

# Using proxy or env var HTTPR_PROXY
resp = httpr.Client(proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8080").get("https://tls.peet.ws/api/all")
print(resp.json())
export HTTPR_PROXY="socks5://127.0.0.1:1080"
resp = httpr.Client().get("https://tls.peet.ws/api/all")
print(resp.json())

# Using custom CA certificate store: env var HTTPR_CA_BUNDLE
resp = httpr.Client(ca_cert_file="/cert/cacert.pem").get("https://tls.peet.ws/api/all")
print(resp.json())
resp = httpr.Client(ca_cert_file=certifi.where()).get("https://tls.peet.ws/api/all")
print(resp.json())
export HTTPR_CA_BUNDLE="/home/user/Downloads/cert.pem"
resp = httpr.Client().get("https://tls.peet.ws/api/all")
print(resp.json())

# You can also use convenience functions that use a default Client instance under the hood:
# httpr.get() | httpr.head() | httpr.options() | httpr.delete() | httpr.post() | httpr.patch() | httpr.put()
resp = httpr.get("https://httpbin.org/anything")
print(r.text)
```

### II. AsyncClient

`httpr.AsyncClient()` is an asynchronous wrapper around the `httpr.Client` class, offering the same functions, behavior, and input arguments.

```python
import asyncio
import logging

import httpr

async def aget_text(url):
    async with httpr.AsyncClient() as client:
        resp = await client.get(url)
        return resp.text

async def main():
    urls = ["https://nytimes.com/", "https://cnn.com/", "https://abcnews.go.com/"]
    tasks = [aget_text(u) for u in urls]
    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    asyncio.run(main())
```

**Streaming with AsyncClient:**

The `AsyncClient` also supports streaming responses with the same API:

```python
async with httpr.AsyncClient() as client:
    async with client.stream("GET", "https://example.com/large-file") as response:
        for chunk in response.iter_bytes():
            process(chunk)
```

Note: While the context manager is async, the iteration over chunks (`iter_bytes()`, `iter_text()`, `iter_lines()`) is synchronous.
