📦 Fetch HTTP Library - Simplify Your HTTP Requests in Python!

Hey, Python developers! 👋 If you’re working with APIs or any network calls, you probably know how crucial it is to handle HTTP requests efficiently. Let me introduce Fetch HTTP Library—a lightweight, user-friendly library designed to make HTTP requests easier in Python!

Fetch HTTP Library is a great solution for handling common HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, all while ensuring a single, unified instance thanks to the Singleton pattern. Whether you're building a microservice or a larger application, Fetch HTTP Library will save you time and lines of code!

🚀 Why Use Fetch HTTP Library?

Here’s why Fetch HTTP Library stands out:

  • 🌐 GET requests for fetching data
  • 📤 POST requests for sending data
  • ✏️ PUT requests for updating records
  • ❌ DELETE requests for data deletion
  • 📦 Singleton pattern for managing a single instance across your app
  • 🛠️ Ease of use and extendability to suit custom needs
  • 📝 Logging for tracking requests and responses for easier debugging

Fetch handles these methods smoothly, giving you a simple API to interact with. It’s built to be straightforward yet flexible, allowing you to adapt it to various use cases in your projects.

📚 Installation

Let’s get Fetch installed and running in seconds! Just use pip:

pip install fetchio
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

🛠️ How to Use Fetch HTTP Library

Once installed, you’re just a few lines away from sending your first HTTP request. Here’s a quick rundown of how to make GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests with Fetch.

from fetchio.http import Http

# Create a single instance of Http
http = Http()

# Perform a GET request
response = http.get('http://example.com')
print(response)

# Send a POST request
response = http.post('http://example.com', json={'data': 'value'})
print(response)

# Execute a PUT request
response = http.put('http://example.com', json={'data': 'value'})
print(response)

# Send a DELETE request
response = http.delete('http://example.com')
print(response)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Each request type returns a response object containing all the essential info like status, content, and headers. This makes it easy to handle the response in the way your application needs.
