aiosonic

Fastest Python async http client

Here is some documentation.

There is a performance script in tests folder which shows very nice numbers

» python tests/performance.py
doing tests...
{
 "aiohttp": "1000 requests in 247.47 ms",
 "requests": "1000 requests in 3625.10 ms",
 "aiosonic": "1000 requests in 80.09 ms",
 "aiosonic cyclic": "1000 requests in 128.71 ms",
 "httpx": "1000 requests in 528.73 ms"
}
aiosonic is 209.00% faster than aiohttp
aiosonic is 4426.34% faster than requests
aiosonic is 60.70% faster than aiosonic cyclic
aiosonic is 560.17% faster than httpx

Requirements:

• Python>=3.6

Features:

• Keepalive and smart pool of connections
• Multipart File Uploads
• Chunked responses handling
• Chunked requests
• Connection Timeouts
• Automatic Decompression
• Follow Redirects
• Fully type annotated.
• 100% test coverage.

Usage

import asyncio
import aiosonic
import json


async def run():
    """Start."""
    # Sample get request
    response = await aiosonic.get('https://www.google.com/')
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert 'Google' in (await response.text())

    url = "https://postman-echo.com/post"
    posted_data = {'foo': 'bar'}

    # post data as multipart form
    response = await aiosonic.post(url, data=posted_data)

    assert response.status_code == 200
    data = json.loads(await response.content())
    assert data['form'] == posted_data

    # posted as json
    response = await aiosonic.post(url, json=posted_data)

    assert response.status_code == 200
    data = json.loads(await response.content())
    assert data['json'] == posted_data

    # Sample get request + timeout
    from aiosonic.timeout import Timeouts
    timeouts = Timeouts(
        sock_read=10,
        sock_connect=3
    )
    response = await aiosonic.get('https://www.google.com/', timeouts=timeouts)
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert 'Google' in (await response.text())

    print('success')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(run())
