# asks
`asks` is an async `requests`-like HTTP lib, for use in conjunction with the wonderful [curio](https://github.com/dabeaz/curio) and [trio](https://github.com/python-trio/trio) async libs.

`asks` aims to have a mostly familiar API, using simple functions/methods like `get()` for getting and `post()` for posting.
At the heart of `asks` is a session class which makes interacting with the web in a sustained and fluid way fast, efficient, and simple. Check out the examples!

## Check the docs!

http://asks.readthedocs.io/

Above you'll find detailed docs with a large number of simple examples to help you get off the ground in no time.

## Installation

*Requires: Python 3.6.2 or newer.*

`pip install asks`

## Examples

```python
# one request
# A little silly to async one request, but not without its use!
import asks
import anyio

async def example():
r = await asks.get('https://example.org')
print(r.content)

anyio.run(example)
```

```python
# many requests
# make 1k api calls and store their response objects
# in a list.

import asks
import trio

path_list = ['http://fakeurl.org/get','http://example123.org']

results = []

async def grabber(s, path):
r = await s.get(path)
results.append(r)

async def main(path_list):
from asks.sessions import Session
s = Session('https://example.org', connections=2)
async with trio.open_nursery() as n:
for path in path_list:
n.start_soon(grabber, s, path)

trio.run(main, path_list)

```

#### Changelog

*2.0.0* - Setting `stream=True` means that the response returned will be a `StreamResponse` object rather than the default `Response` object.

##### Shoutout to ##lp, and the fine peeps of 8banana
