Client

✓ import pyreqwest

Debug

Known issues

gotchapyreqwest methods (e.g., `get`, `post`) are **blocking** by default. There is no async support. If you need async, use a different library.

fix

Do not try `await client.get(...)`. Use synchronous calls only.

affects: all

breakingIn v0.11.4, the `header` method on `RequestBuilder` renamed the `name` keyword argument to `key`. Code using `header(name="X-Custom", value="val")` will break.

fix

Change to `header(key="X-Custom", value="val")`.

affects: >=0.11.4

gotcha`Response.text()` is a method, not a property. Calling `response.text` (without parentheses) returns the bound method, not the string.

fix

Always call `response.text()` with parentheses.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `http2()` method on `ClientBuilder` is deprecated in favor of `http2_prior_knowledge()`? Actually, keep this generic: The `http2` method typing has been corrected; ensure you pass a boolean.

fix

Use `client_builder.http2(True)` (boolean) as intended.

affects: >=0.11.7
