Overview

EasyRequests

EasyRequests is a minimalistic HTTP-Request Library that wraps aiohttp and asyncio in a small package that allows for sequential, parallel or even single requests. EasyRequests also supports dispatching each request as daemon (in a seperate thread)

Installation

Download the .py file and place it in your project. As of writing this, there is currently no PyPi download available!

Usage

Example usage

After finishing, clear the queue # background -> run as daemon or not queue.runparallel(clear=True, background=True) # If we don't do this, an exception will be thrown if the interpreter reaches the end of the file! # We only need to use this if the task is run as daemon queue.waitforfinish()">

from easyrequests import  (Methods, Queue)

def callback(resp):
	print(f"Response received for: {resp.url}")

queue = Queue()

# A bunch of GET Requests
queue.add("https://twitter.com/", callback)
queue.add("https://facebook.com/", callback)
queue.add("https://google.com/", callback)
queue.add("https://aol.com/", callback)
queue.add("https://gmail.com/", callback)

# You can also specify the Method, in this case "POST"
queue.add("https://discord.com",
		  method=Methods.POST,
	      timeout=60,
	      data={"Hello":  "World"})

# clear -> After finishing, clear the queue
# background -> run as daemon or not
queue.runparallel(clear=True, background=True)

# If we don't do this, an exception will be thrown if the interpreter reaches the end of the file!
# We only need to use this if the task is run as daemon
queue.waitforfinish()

We can also do sequential requests by using the function runsequential() instead of runparallel().

EasyRequests also supports making single requests, without using a queue.

from easyrequests import  (Methods, Queue)

def callback(resp):
	print(f"Response received for: {resp.url}")

Queue.single("https://google.com/",
			 callback,
			 method=Methods.GET,
			 timeout=10,
		     background=True)

Please note

I created this library for personal use! If you encounter any problems, feel free to open an issue, though if I don't see the need to develop this further, I will abandon the project! Use at your own risk!
