Comparing Python HTTP libraries - Request for Recommendations
Lately I tried https://github.com/ross/requests-futures and it is really nice little wrapper for requests library that makes it run asynchronous via thread pool. Worth checking out if you are already using requests lib.

How to make requests.get() faster?
Thank you, I didn’t know about this before. Looks like either requests-threads or requests-futures can do the job. Not sure how I can add async and await to the script above, I’ll tinker around with it later!

Best way to run parallel async http requests
I found examples of running parallel async http requests using grequests, but in its GitHub page it recommends using requests-threads or requests-futures instead. Which of them would be the most straightforward tool for optimizing a sequence of GET requests against an API. Case scenario: API endpoint provides paginated responses. With first response, I get the total of itens, which allow me to prepare all the remaining urls. The API allows for 25 simultaneous requests from a single user session (JWT token).

What are some good online FREE python interpreters that have their own processing power, RAM and Storage?
I would suggest using a session in requests if you're not already but also to look at asyncio/aiohttp , requests-futures or requests-html which can be used asynchronously and is written by the author of the requests library.

The Pythonic Emptiness
Keep in mind that truthiness comes from __bool__ and is overridable, so separate from Python itself, a lot of library authors have made questionable decisions here. A perennial contender is https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/2002.

Revived the promise made six years ago for Requests 3
For many years now, Requests has been frozen. Being left in a vegetative state and not evolving, this blocked millions of developers from using more advanced features.
