aiosonic

Very fast, lightweight Python asyncio http client

Here is some documentation.

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

ยป python tests/performance.py
doing tests...
{
 "aiosonic": "1000 requests in 110.03 ms",
 "aiosonic cyclic": "1000 requests in 332.10 ms",
 "aiohttp": "1000 requests in 427.31 ms",
 "requests": "1000 requests in 4915.04 ms",
 "httpx": "1000 requests in 638.04 ms"
}
aiosonic is 288.36% faster than aiohttp
aiosonic is 4367.04% faster than requests
aiosonic is 201.83% faster than aiosonic cyclic
aiosonic is 479.89% faster than httpx

You can perform this test by installing all test dependencies with pip install -e ".[test]" and doing python tests/performance.py in your own machine

Requirements:

  • Python>=3.6
  • PyPy>=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.

Installation

pip install aiosonic

Usage

import asyncio
import aiosonic
import json


async def run():
    client = aiosonic.HTTPClient()

    # ##################
    # Sample get request
    # ##################
    response = await client.get('https://www.google.com/')
    assert response.status_code == 200
    assert 'Google' in (await response.text())

    # ##################
    # Post data as multipart form
    # ##################
    url = "https://postman-echo.com/post"
    posted_data = {'foo': 'bar'}
    response = await client.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 client.post(url, json=posted_data)

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

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

    print('success')


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