Python Requests

Requests is a Python module that you can use to send
HTTP requests. It is an easy-to-use library with a lot of
possibilities ranging from passing parameters in URLs to
sending custom headers and SSL verification. The
Requests library is a very handy tool you can use
whenever you programmatically start using any APIs.
