urllib3 is a powerful, user-friendly HTTP client for Python. urllib3 brings many critical features that are missing from the Python standard libraries:

• Thread safety.
• Connection pooling.
• Client-side SSL/TLS verification.
• File uploads with multipart encoding.
• Helpers for retrying requests and dealing with HTTP redirects.
• Support for gzip, deflate, brotli, and zstd encoding.
• Proxy support for HTTP and SOCKS.
• 100% test coverage.

... and many more features, but most importantly: Our maintainers have a 15+ year track record of maintaining urllib3 with the highest code standards and attention to security and safety.

Much of the Python ecosystem already uses urllib3 and you should too.

Installing

urllib3 can be installed with pip:

$python-mpipinstallurllib3

Alternatively, you can grab the latest source code from GitHub:

$gitclonehttps://github.com/urllib3/urllib3.git
