  • httpx

    A next generation HTTP client for Python. 🦋

  • I use httpx. I personally find it's syntax is easier to write, but similar enough to requests to follow along with tutorials etc.

  • mureq

    Single-file alternative to python-requests

  • I haven’t actually used it yet, but I saw the author post about mureq either here or r/Python and it looks pretty interesting.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
