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]:
```bash
$ python -m pip install urllib3
```
Alternatively, you can grab the latest source code from [GitHub]:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3.git
$ cd urllib3
$ pip install .
```
## Getting Started
urllib3 is easy to use:

b"User-agent: *\nDisallow: /deny\n"
