Description: # Requests
**Requests** is a simple, yet elegant, HTTP library.
```python
>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass'))
>>> r.status_code
200
>>> r.headers['content-type']
'application/json; charset=utf8'
>>> r.encoding
'utf-8'
>>> r.text
'{"type":"User"...'
>>> r.json()
{'disk_usage': 368627, 'private_gists': 484, ...}
```
Requests allows you to send HTTP/1.1 requests extremely easily. There’s no need to manually add query strings to your URLs, or to form-encode your `PUT` & `POST` data — but nowadays, just use the `json` method!
Requests is one of the most downloaded Python package today, pulling in around `14M downloads / week`— according to GitHub, Requests is currently [depended upon](https://github.com/psf/requests/network/dependents?package_id=UGFja2FnZS01NzA4OTExNg%3D%3D) by `500,000+` repositories. You may certainly put your trust in this code.

## Cloning the repository
When cloning the Requests repository, you may need to add the `-c
fetch.fsck.badTimezone=ignore` flag to avoid an error about a bad commit (see
[this issue](https://github.com/psf/requests/issues/2690) for more background):
```shell
git clone -c fetch.fsck.badTimezone=ignore https://github.com/psf/requests.git
```
You can also apply this setting to your global Git config:
```shell
git config --global fetch.fsck.badTimezone ignore
```
