Tutorial: Requests

Requests is a Python library that makes sending HTTP requests incredibly simple. Instead of dealing with complex details, you can use straightforward functions (like requests.get()) or Session objects to interact with web services. It automatically handles things like cookies, redirects, authentication, and connection pooling, returning easy-to-use Response objects with all the server's data.
