Requests
The requests library is one of the most known and used Python libraries for HTTP calls.
👉 Their slogan tells it all: HTTP for Humans
Whether you need to download a file, interact with an API or simply checking if a website is responding, for everything
HTTP, you should just use requests.
Usage
import requests
def download_file(url: str, filename: str) -> str:
"""
Download a file from the given url.
"""
response = requests.get(url)
response.raise_for_status()
with open(filename, 'wb') as stream:
stream.write(response.content)
return filename
AI/LLM's are quite good with
requests.
