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:

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'

• 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

Proxy

A configuration of the proxy server.

>>> proxy = Proxy("http://proxy.example.com:8030")
>>> client = Client(proxy=proxy)

• def __init__(url, [ssl_context], [auth], [headers])
• .url - URL
• .auth - tuple[str, str]
• .headers - Headers
• .ssl_context - SSLContext
