The requests library is the de facto standard for making HTTP requests in Python. It abstracts the complexities of making requests behind a beautiful, simple API so that you can focus on interacting with services and consuming data in your application.
Throughout this course, you’ll see some of the most useful features that requests has to offer as well as how to customize and optimize those features for different situations you may come across. You’ll also learn how to use requests in an efficient way as well as how to prevent requests to external services from slowing down your application.

Thanks Chris, great course. I expecially liked how you explained concepts using the REPL before getting to writing the scripts. It’s a great way to learn and experiment, I’m going to add more of that to my workflow.
