aiohttp-requests

Behold, the power of aiohttp client with Requests simplicity:

import asyncio

import aiohttp
from aiohttp_requests import requests

async def main():
    response = await requests.get('https://api.github.com', auth=aiohttp.BasicAuth('user', 'password'))
    text = await response.text()
    json = await response.json()
    return response, text, json

r, text, json = asyncio.run(main())

>>> r
<ClientResponse(https://api.github.com/) [200 OK]>
>>> r.status
200
>>> r.headers['Content-Type']
'application/json; charset=utf-8'
>>> r.get_encoding()
'utf-8'
>>> text
'{"current_user_url":"https://api.github.com/user",...'
>>> json
{'current_user_url': 'https://api.github.com/user', ... }

Plus built-in concurrency control to do multiple requests safely:

async def main():
    # Pass in a list of urls instead of just one. Optionally pass in as_iterator=True to iterate the responses.
    responses = await requests.get(['https://api.github.com'] * 2, auth=aiohttp.BasicAuth('user', 'password'))
    print(responses)    # [<ClientResponse(https://...) [200 OK]>, , <ClientResponse(https://...) [200 OK]>]

    # It defaults to 10 concurrent requests maximum. If you can handle more, then set it higher:
    requests.max_concurrency = 100

asyncio.run(main())

The requests object is just proxying get and other HTTP verb methods to aiohttp.ClientSession, which returns aiohttp.ClientResponse. To do anything else, read the aiohttp doc.
