An ergonomic and modular Python HTTP Client for high-fidelity protocol matching, featuring customizable TLS, JA3/JA4, and HTTP/2 signature capabilities, powered by [wreq](https://github.com/0x676e67/wreq).
## Features
- Async and Blocking `Client`s
- Plain bodies, JSON, urlencoded, multipart
- HTTP Trailer
- Cookie Store
- Redirect Policy
- Original Header
- Rotating Proxies
- Connection Pooling
- Streaming Transfers
- Zero-Copy Transfers
- WebSocket Upgrade
- HTTPS via BoringSSL
- Free-Threaded Safety
- Automatic Decompression
- Certificate Store (CAs & mTLS)
## Example
The following example uses the `asyncio` runtime with `wreq` installed via pip:
```bash
pip install wreq
```
And then the code:
```python
import asyncio
from wreq import Client, Emulation
async def main():
async with Client(emulation=Emulation.Chrome154) as c:
async with c.get("https://pingly.us.kg/api/all") as r:
r.raise_for_status()
print(await r.text())
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```

## Behavior
1. **HTTP/2 over TLS**
Due to the complexity of TLS encryption and the widespread adoption of HTTP/2, browser fingerprints such as **JA3**, **JA4**, and **Akamai** cannot be reliably emulated using simple fingerprint strings. Instead of parsing and emulating these string-based fingerprints, `wreq` provides fine-grained control over TLS and HTTP/2 extensions and settings for precise browser behavior emulation.
2. **Device Emulation**
**TLS** and **HTTP/2** fingerprints are often identical across various browser models because these underlying protocols evolve slower than browser release cycles. **100+ browser device emulation [profiles](https://python.wreq.org/en/latest/api/emulation/#wreq.emulation.Profile)** are maintained in **wreq**.
## Building
1. Platforms
- Linux(**glibc**/**musl**): `x86_64`, `aarch64`, `armv7`, `i686`
- macOS: `x86_64`,`aarch64`
- Windows: `x86_64`,`i686`,`aarch64`
- Android: `aarch64`, `x86_64`
2. Development
Install the BoringSSL build environment by referring to [boringssl](https://github.com/google/boringssl/blob/main/BUILDING.md).
```bash
# on ubuntu or debian
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake perl pkg-config libclang-dev musl-tools git
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
pip install uv maturin
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# development
maturin develop --uv
# build wheels
maturin build --release
```
## Benchmark
Our [benchmark suite](https://github.com/0x676e67/wreq-python/tree/main/bench) compares Python HTTP clients over HTTPS HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2. It tests complete and streamed uploads, reading every response to the end. The results include client versions and machine details so you can check the conditions behind each measurement. Performance varies by workload and environment.
