When building a service oriented architecture, we often need a dedicated part of our program for external communication. This is the role of the HTTP Client.
However, the relatively new way of asynchronous programming which improve dramatically the performance by giving control back to the main thread on each new single asynchronous task, force us to program in an asynchronous way along all each incoming request (if this one started as asynchronous, we must continue it, otherwise the main thread will be blocked again).
This library provides a simple class that manage the HTTP communication in an asynchronous way.
pip install http_async_clientfrom http_async_client import async_client_factory
client = async_client_factory(host="example.com", port=8080, protocol="https")async def get_my_resource(dummy_id):
return await client().get(f"/{dummy_id}")Since client is a factory, we need to call it (notice the client() syntaxe here) on every use (for further explanation, check API Reference
from http_async_client import async_client_factory
import asyncio
client = async_client_factory(host="google.com", protocol="https")
async def get_my_resource():
response = await client().get()
print(response.text)
asyncio.run(get_my_resource())***OUTPUT ***
