Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

impersonate

✓ from pyreqwest_impersonate import impersonate

✗ from pyreqwest_impersonate import ImpersonateSession

Class name changed in 0.4.0; use the function directly

ImpersonateSession

✓ from pyreqwest_impersonate import ImpersonateSession

✗ from pyreqwest_impersonate import Session

Old import path removed in 0.5.0

Basic request with Chrome impersonation.

import os from pyreqwest_impersonate import impersonate url = 'https://httpbin.org/headers' response = impersonate(url, impersonate='chrome', headers={'User-Agent': os.environ.get('USER_AGENT', 'Mozilla/5.0')}) print(response.text)

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 0.4.0, the main API changed from class-based `ImpersonateSession` to a function-based `impersonate`. Old code using `ImpersonateSession` will break.

fix

Replace `session = ImpersonateSession(); session.get(url)` with `impersonate(url, impersonate='chrome')`.

affects: <0.4.0

gotchaImpersonation is not exact; some websites may still detect the library due to missing or differing HTTP/2 settings.

fix

Test with target site and consider adjusting headers or using a different impersonation profile.

affects: all

deprecatedThe `headers` parameter in `impersonate()` is being deprecated in favor of a separate `headers` dictionary passed to the underlying `requests` call.

fix

Pass headers via `requests.Session` or use `impersonate(url, headers=...)` but note deprecation.

affects: >=0.5.0
