## Simple Usage

Here is an example of a simple `get` request:

```py
>>> resp = hrequests.get('https://www.google.com/')
```

Requests are sent through [bogdanfinn's tls-client](https://github.com/bogdanfinn/tls-client) to spoof the TLS client fingerprint. This is done automatically, and is completely transparent to the user.

Other request methods include `post`, `put`, `delete`, `head`, `options`, and `patch`.

The `Response` object is a near 1:1 replica of the `requests.Response` object, with some additional attributes.

<details>

```

</details>

`os` can be `'win'`, `'mac'`, or `'lin'`. Default is randomized.

```py
>>> session = hrequests.chrome.Session(os='mac')
```

This will automatically generate headers based on the browser name and OS:

```py
>>> session.headers
{'Accept': '*/*', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_4; rv:60.2.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.2.2', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br', 'Pragma': 'no-cache'}
```

<details>
<summary>Why is the browser version in the header different than the TLS browser version?</summary>

Website bot detection systems typically do not correlate the TLS fingerprint browser version with the browser header.

By adding more randomization to our headers, we can make our requests appear to be coming from a larger number of clients. We can make it seem like our requests are coming from a larger number of clients. This makes it harder for websites to identify and block our requests based on a consistent browser version.

</details>

### Properties

Here is a simple get request. This is a wrapper around `hrequests.get`. The only difference is that the session cookies are updated with each request. Creating sessions are recommended for making multiple requests to the same domain.

```py
>>> resp = session.get('https://www.google.com/')
```

Session cookies update with each request:

```py
>>> session.cookies: RequestsCookieJar
<RequestsCookieJar[Cookie(version=0, name='1P_JAR', value='2023-07-05-20', port=None, port_specified=False, domain='.google.com', domain_specified=True...
```

Regenerate headers for a different OS:

```py
>>> session.os = 'win'
>>> session.headers: CaseInsensitiveDict
{'Accept': '*/*', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0.3) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0.3', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate, br', 'Accept-Language': 'en-US;q=0.5,en;q=0.3', 'Cache-Control': 'max-age=0', 'DNT': '1', 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests': '1', 'Pragma': 'no-cache'}
```

### Closing Sessions

Sessions can also be closed to free memory:

```py
>>> session.close()
```

Alternatively, sessions can be used as context managers:

```py
with hrequests.Session() as session:
    resp = session.get('https://www.google.com/')
    print(resp)
```

<hr width=50>

## Concurrent & Lazy Requests

### Nohup Requests

Similar to Unix's nohup command, `nohup` requests are sent in the background.

Adding the `nohup=True` keyword argument will return a `LazyTLSRequest` object. This will send the request immediately, but doesn't wait for the response to be ready until an attribute of the response is accessed.

```py
resp1 = hrequests.get('https://www.google.com/', nohup=True)
resp2 = hrequests.get('https://www.google.com/', nohup=True)
```

`resp1` and `resp2` are sent concurrently. They will _never_ pause the current thread, unless an attribute of the response is accessed:

```py
print('Resp 1:', resp1.reason)  # will wait for resp1 to finish, if it hasn't already
print('Resp 2:', resp2.reason)  # will wait for resp2 to finish, if it hasn't already
```

This is useful for sending requests in the background that aren't needed until later.

Note: In `nohup`, a new thread is created for each request. For larger scale concurrency, please consider the following:

### Easy Concurrency

You can pass an array/iterator of links to the request methods to send them concurrently. This wraps around [`hrequests.map`](#map):

```py
>>> hrequests.get(['https://google.com/', 'https://github.com/'])
(<Response [200]>, <Response [200]>)
```

This also works with `nohup`:

```py
>>> resps = hrequests.get(['https://google.com/', 'https://github.com/'], nohup=True)
>>> resps
(<LazyResponse[Pending]>, <LazyResponse[Pending]>)
>>> # Sometime later...
>>> resps
(<Response [200]>, <Response [200]>)
```

### Grequests-style Concurrency

The methods `async_get`, `async_post`, etc. will create an unsent request. This levereges gevent, making it _blazing fast_.

<details>
<summary>Parameters</summary>

```
Parameters:
    url (str): URL to send request to
    data (Union[str, bytes, bytearray, dict], optional): Data to send to request. Defaults to None.
    files (Dict[str, Union[BufferedReader, tuple]], optional): Data to send to request. Defaults to None.
    headers (dict, optional): Dictionary of HTTP headers to send with the request. Defaults to None.
    params (dict, optional): Dictionary of URL parameters to append to the URL. Defaults to None.
    cookies (Union[RequestsCookieJar, dict, list], optional): Dict or CookieJar to send. Defaults to None.
    json (dict, optional): Json to send in the request body. Defaults to None.
    allow_redirects (bool, optional): Allow request to redirect. Defaults to True.
    history (bool, optional): Remember request history. Defaults to False.
    verify (bool, optional): Verify the server's TLS certificate. Defaults to True.
    timeout (float, optional): Timeout in seconds. Defaults to 30.
    proxy (str, optional): Proxy URL. Defaults to None.
    <Additionally includes all parameters from `hrequests.Session` if a session was not specified>

Returns:
    hrequests.response.Response: Response object
```

</details>

Async requests are evaluated on `hrequests.map`, `hrequests.imap`, or `hrequests.imap_enum`.

This functionality is similar to [grequests](https://github.com/spyoungtech/grequests). Unlike grequests, [monkey patching](https://www.gevent.org/api/gevent.monkey.html) is not required because this does not rely on the standard python SSL library.

Create a set of unsent Requests:

```py
>>> reqs = [
...     hrequests.async_get('https://www.google.com/', browser='firefox'),
...     hrequests.async_get('https://www.duckduckgo.com/'),
...     hrequests.async_get('https://www.yahoo.com/')
... ]
```

#### map

Send them all at the same time using map:

```py
>>> hrequests.map(reqs, size=3)
[<Response [200]>, <Response [200]>, <Response [200]>]
```

<details>
<summary>Parameters</summary>

```
Concurrently converts a list of Requests to Responses.
Parameters:
    requests - a collection of Request objects.
    size - Specifies the number of requests to make at a time. If None, no throttling occurs.
    exception_handler - Callback function, called when exception occurred. Params: Request, Exception
    timeout - Gevent joinall timeout in seconds. (Note: unrelated to requests timeout)

Returns:
    A list of Response objects.
```

</details>

#### imap

`imap` returns a generator that yields responses as they come in:

```py
>>> for resp in hrequests.imap(reqs, size=3):
...    print(resp)
<Response [200]>
<Response [200]>
<Response [200]>
```

<details>
<summary>Parameters</summary>

```
Concurrently converts a generator object of Requests to a generator of Responses.

Parameters:
    requests - a generator or sequence of Request objects.
    size - Specifies the number of requests to make at a time. default is 2
    exception_handler - Callback function, called when exception occurred. Params: Request, Exception

Yields:
    Response objects.
```

</details>

`imap_enum` returns a generator that yields a tuple of `(index, response)` as they come in. The `index` is the index of the request in the original list:

```py
>>> for index, resp in hrequests.imap_enum(reqs, size=3):
...     print(index, resp)
(1, <Response [200]>)
(0, <Response [200]>)
(2, <Response [200]>)
```

<details>
<summary>Parameters</summary>

```
Like imap, but yields tuple of original request index and response object
Unlike imap, failed results and responses from exception handlers that return None are not ignored. Instead, a
tuple of (index, None) is yielded.
Responses are still in arbitrary order.

Parameters:
    requests - a sequence of Request objects.
    size - Specifies the number of requests to make at a time. default is 2
    exception_handler - Callback function, called when exception occurred. Params: Request, Exception

Yields:
    (index, Response) tuples.
```

</details>

#### Exception Handling

To handle timeouts or any other exception during the connection of the request, you can add an optional exception handler that will be called with the request and exception inside the main thread.

```py
>>> def exception_handler(request, exception):
...    return f'Response failed: {exception}'

>>> bad_reqs = [
...     hrequests.async_get('http://httpbin.org/delay/5', timeout=1),
...     hrequests.async_get('http://fakedomain/'),
...     hrequests.async_get('http://example.com/'),
... ]
>>> hrequests.map(bad_reqs, size=3, exception_handler=exception_handler)
['Response failed: Connection error', 'Response failed: Connection error', <Response [200]>]
```

The value returned by the exception handler will be used in place of the response in the result list.

If an exception handler isn't specified, the default yield type is `hrequests.FailedResponse`.

## HTML Parsing

HTML scraping is based off [selectolax](https://github.com/rushter/selectolax), which is **over 25x faster** than bs4. This functionality is inspired by [requests-html](https://github.com/psf/requests-html).

| Library        | Time (1e5 trials) |
| -------------- | ----------------- |
| BeautifulSoup4 | 52.6              |
| PyQuery        | 7.5               |
| selectolax     | **1.9**           |

The HTML parser can be accessed through the `html` attribute of the response object:

```py
>>> resp = session.get('https://python.org/')
>>> resp.html
<HTML url='https://www.python.org/'>
```

### Parsing page

Grab a list of all links on the page, as-is (anchors excluded):

```py
>>> resp.html.links
{'//docs.python.org/3/tutorial/', '/about/apps/', 'https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues', '/accounts/login/', '/dev/peps/', '/about/legal/',...
```

Grab a list of all links on the page, in absolute form (anchors excluded):

```py
>>> resp.html.absolute_links
{'https://github.com/python/pythondotorg/issues', 'https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/', 'https://www.python.org/about/success/', 'http://feedproxy.g...
```

Search for text on the page:

```py
>>> resp.html.search('Python is a {} language')[0]
programming
```

### Selecting elements

Select an element using a CSS Selector:

```py
>>> about = resp.html.find('#about')
```

<details>
<summary>Parameters</summary>

```
Given a CSS Selector, returns a list of
:class:`Element <Element>` objects or a single one.

Parameters:
    selector: CSS Selector to use.
    clean: Whether or not to sanitize the found HTML of ``<script>`` and ``<style>``
    containing: If specified, only return elements that contain the provided text.
    first: Whether or not to return just the first result.
    raise_exception: Raise an exception if no elements are found. Default is True.
    _encoding: The encoding format.

Returns:
    A list of :class:`Element <Element>` objects or a single one.

Example CSS Selectors:
- ``a``
- ``a.someClass``
- ``a#someID``
- ``a[target=_blank]``
See W3School's `CSS Selectors Reference
<https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp>`_
for more details.
If ``first`` is ``True``, only returns the first
:class:`Element <Element>` found.
```

</details>

### Introspecting elements

Grab an Element's text contents:

```py
>>> print(about.text)
About
Applications
Quotes
Getting Started
Help
Python Brochure
```

Getting an Element's attributes:

```py
>>> about.attrs
{'id': 'about', 'class': ('tier-1', 'element-1'), 'aria-haspopup': 'true'}
>>> about.id
'about'
```

Get an Element's raw HTML:

```py
>>> about.html
'<li aria-haspopup="true" class="tier-1 element-1 " id="about">\n<a class="" href="/about/" title="">About</a>\n<ul aria-hidden="true" class="subnav menu" role="menu">\n<li class="tier-2 element-1" role="treeitem"><a href="/about/apps/" title="">Applications</a></li>\n<li class="tier-2 element-2" role="treeitem"><a href="/about/quotes/" title="">Quotes</a></li>\n<li class="tier-2 element-3" role="treeitem"><a href="/about/gettingstarted/" title="">Getting Started</a></li>\n<li class="tier-2 element-4" role="treeitem"><a href="/about/help/" title="">Help</a></li>\n<li class="tier-2 element-5" role="treeitem"><a href="http://brochure.getpython.info/" title="">Python Brochure</a></li>\n</ul>\n</li>'
```

Select Elements within Elements:

```py
>>> about.find_all('a')
[<Element 'a' href='/about/' title='' class=''>, <Element 'a' href='/about/apps/' title=''>, <Element 'a' href='/about/quotes/' title=''>, <Element 'a' href='/about/gettingstarted/' title=''>, <Element 'a' href='/about/help/' title=''>, <Element 'a' href='http://brochure.getpython.info/' title=''>]
>>> about.find('a')
<Element 'a' href='/about/' title='' class=''>
```

Searching by HTML attributes:

```py
>>> about.find('il', role='treeitem')
<Element 'li' role='treeitem' class=('tier-2', 'element-1')>
```

Search for links within an element:

```py
>>> about.absolute_links
{'http://brochure.getpython.info/', 'https://www.python.org/about/gettingstarted/', 'https://www.python.org/about/', 'https://www.python.org/about/quotes/', 'https://www.python.org/about/help/', 'https://www.python.org/about/apps/'}
```

    **kwargs: Additional arguments to pass to Playwright (or Camoufox parameters if using Firefox)
```

</details>

`BrowserSession` is entirely safe to use across threads.

#### Camoufox Integration

If you are using a Firefox BrowserSession, you can pass additional parameters to Camoufox by using the `**kwargs` parameter:

```py
>>> page = hrequests.BrowserSession(window=(1024, 768), block_images=True, addons=['/path/to/addon'], ...)
```

You can find a full list of parameters for Camoufox [here](https://camoufox.com/python/usage).

#### Engine

The `engine` parameter allows you to pass in an existing `BrowserEngine` instance. This can be useful if you want to reuse a Playwright engine to save time on startup. It is completely threadsafe.

```python
>>> engine = hrequests.BrowserEngine()
```

Use the same engine for multiple sessions

```python
>>> page1 = hrequests.BrowserSession(engine=engine)
>>> page2 = hrequests.BrowserSession(engine=engine)
```

### Render an existing Response

Responses have a `.render()` method. This will render the contents of the response in a browser page.

Once the page is closed, the Response content and the Response's session cookies will be updated.

#### Simple usage

Rendered browser sessions will use the browser set in the initial request.

You can set a request's browser with the `browser` parameter in the `hrequests.get` method:

```py
>>> resp = hrequests.get('https://example.com')
```

Or by setting the `browser` parameter of the `hrequests.Session` object:

```py
>>> session = hrequests.Session()
>>> resp = session.get('https://example.com')
```

**Example - submitting a login form:**

```py
>>> session = hrequests.Session()
>>> resp = session.get('https://www.somewebsite.com/')
>>> with resp.render(mock_human=True) as page:
...     page.type('.input#username', 'myuser')
...     page.type('.input#password', 'p4ssw0rd')
...     page.click('#submit')
# `session` & `resp` now have updated cookies, content, etc.
```

<summary><strong>Or, without a context manager</strong></summary>

```py
>>> session = hrequests.Session()
>>> resp = session.get('https://www.somewebsite.com/')
>>> page = resp.render(mock_human=True)
>>> page.type('.input#username', 'myuser')
>>> page.type('.input#password', 'p4ssw0rd')
>>> page.click('#submit')
>>> page.close()  # must close the page when done!
```

</details>

The `mock_human` parameter will emulate human-like behavior. This includes easing and randomizing mouse movements, and randomizing typing speed. This functionality is based on [Botright](https://github.com/Vinyzu/botright/).

<details>
<summary>Parameters</summary>

```
Parameters:
    headless (bool, optional): Whether to run the browser in headless mode. Defaults to False.
    mock_human (bool, optional): Whether to emulate human behavior. Defaults to False.

    engine (BrowserEngine, optional): Pass in an existing BrowserEngine instead of creating a new one
    **kwargs: Additional arguments to pass to Camoufox (see https://camoufox.com/python/usage)
```

</details>

### Properties

Cookies are inherited from the session:

```py
>>> page.cookies: RequestsCookieJar  # cookies are inherited from the session
<RequestsCookieJar[Cookie(version=0, name='1P_JAR', value='2023-07-05-20', port=None, port_specified=False, domain='.somewebsite.com', domain_specified=True...

### Adding Firefox extensions

Firefox extensions can be easily imported into a browser session. Some potentially useful extensions include:

- **uBlock Origin** - Ad & popup blocker (Automatically installed)

- **hektCaptcha** - Hcaptcha solver ([Download](https://github.com/Wikidepia/hektCaptcha-extension))

- **FastForward** - Bypass & skip link redirects ([Download](https://nightly.link/FastForwardTeam/FastForward/workflows/main/main/FastForward_firefox.zip))

**Note:** Hrequests only supports Firefox extensions.

Extensions are added with the `extensions` parameter:

- This can be an list of absolute paths to unpacked extensions:

  ```py
  with resp.render(extensions=['C:\\extensions\\hektcaptcha', 'C:\\extensions\\fastforward']):
  ```

Here is an usage example of using a captcha solver:

```py
>>> resp = hrequests.get('https://accounts.hcaptcha.com/demo', browser='firefox')
>>> with resp.render(extensions=['C:\\extensions\\hektcaptcha']) as page:
...     page.awaitSelector('.hcaptcha-success')  # wait for captcha to finish
...     page.click('input[type=submit]')
```

### Requests & Responses

Requests can also be sent within browser sessions. These operate the same as the standard `hrequests.request`, and will use the browser's cookies and headers. The `BrowserSession` cookies will be updated with each request.

This returns a normal `Response` object:

```py
>>> resp = page.get('https://duckduckgo.com')
```

<details>
<summary>Parameters</summary>

```
Parameters:
    url (str): URL to send request to
    params (dict, optional): Dictionary of URL parameters to append to the URL. Defaults to None.
    data (Union[str, dict], optional): Data to send to request. Defaults to None.
    headers (dict, optional): Dictionary of HTTP headers to send with the request. Defaults to None.
    form (dict, optional): Form data to send with the request. Defaults to None.
    multipart (dict, optional): Multipart data to send with the request. Defaults to None.
    timeout (float, optional): Timeout in seconds. Defaults to 30.
    verify (bool, optional): Verify the server's TLS certificate. Defaults to True.
    max_redirects (int, optional): Maximum number of redirects to follow. Defaults to None.

Throws:
    hrequests.exceptions.BrowserTimeoutException: If timeout is reached

Returns:
    hrequests.response.Response: Response object
```

</details>

Other methods include `post`, `put`, `delete`, `head`, and `patch`.

### Closing the page

The `BrowserSession` object must be closed when finished. This will close the browser, update the response data, and merge new cookies with the session cookies.

```py
>>> page.close()
```

Note that this is automatically done when using a context manager.

Session cookies are updated:

```py
>>> session.cookies: RequestsCookieJar
<RequestsCookieJar[Cookie(version=0, name='MUID', value='123456789', port=None, port_specified=False, domain='.bing.com', domain_specified=True, domain_initial_dot=True...
```

Response data is updated:

```py
>>> resp.url: str
'https://www.bing.com/?toWww=1&redig=823778234657823652376438'
>>> resp.content: Union[bytes, str]
'<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en" dir="ltr"><head><meta name="theme-color" content="#4F4F4F"><meta name="description" content="Bing helps you turn inform...
```

#### Other ways to create a Browser Session

You can use `.render` to spawn a `BrowserSession` object directly from a url:

```py
# Using a Session:
>>> page = session.render('https://google.com')
# Or without a session at all:
>>> page = hrequests.render('https://google.com')
```

Make sure to close all `BrowserSession` objects when done!

```py
>>> page.close()
```

## Evomi Proxies

Hrequests has a built in residential proxy rotation service powered by [Evomi](https://evomi.com/).

### Creating a proxy

Import the `evomi` module:

```py
>>> from hrequests.proxies import evomi
>>> proxy = evomi.ResidentialProxy(username='daijro', key='password')
```

### Usage

Pass proxies into requests:

```
>>> resp = hrequests.get('https://example.com', proxy=proxy)
```

Use Evomi proxies with a `Session`:

```python
# Add the proxy to the session
>>> session = hrequests.Session(proxy=proxy)
# All requests made with this session will use the proxy.
>>> resp = session.get('https://example.com')
>>> with resp.render() as page:
...     # Page is rendered with the proxy.
...     ...
```

Use Evomi proxies with a `BrowserSession`:

```python
>>> page = hrequests.BrowserSession(proxy=proxy)
>>> page.goto('https://example.com')
```

### Proxy Types

You can create either a residential, mobile, or datacenter proxy:
