Quick Answer
HTTP requests in Python: requests library (simplest, synchronous). response = requests.get(url, headers={}, params={}, timeout=5). POST: requests.post(url, json=data). Session for connection pooling. For async HTTP: aiohttp or httpx. Always set timeouts. Handle errors with response.raise_for_status(). Use sessions for multiple requests to the same host (connection reuse).
Answer
Use requests for synchronous HTTP calls. Use aiohttp or httpx for asynchronous requests. Supports headers, auth, JSON, and streaming.
