Verified usage

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

Session

✓ from requestium import Session

✗ from requestium.session import Session

Session is directly exposed at package level

Requestium

✓ from requestium import Requestium

Requestium class is a wrapper; use Session instead for most cases

Basic usage: create a unified session with both requests and selenium capabilities.

from requestium import Session # Create a session with a browser (e.g., Chrome) s = Session(driver_path='chromedriver', browser='chrome') # Use requests interface response = s.get('https://httpbin.org/get') print(response.text) # Use selenium to interact with JavaScript try: s.driver.get('https://httpbin.org/get') element = s.driver.find_element('tag name', 'body') print(element.text) except Exception as e: print(f'Browser not available: {e}') finally: s.close()

Debug

Known issues

breakingRequires Python >=3.10. Older versions do not support this library.

fix

Upgrade Python to 3.10+ or use an older version of requestium if available.

affects: <=0.5.0

gotchaThe library may not be actively maintained; issues and PRs may not be addressed.

fix

Consider using alternatives like Requests+BeautifulSoup or Selenium Wire if you need active maintenance.

affects: all

deprecatedSelenium 4 changed find_element API; old syntax may break.

fix

Use Selenium 4 compatible syntax: driver.find_element('tag name', 'body') instead of driver.find_element_by_tag_name('body').

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requestium'

Library not installed or Python version incompatible.

fix

Ensure you are using Python >=3.10 and run: pip install requestium

AttributeError: 'Session' object has no attribute 'driver'

Initialize Session with driver_path and browser parameters: s = Session(driver_path='chromedriver', browser='chrome')

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH

ChromeDriver not installed or not in PATH.
