Requests Library Deep Dive - 2

File reviewed: api.py

Key Points:

• The main function used is request(method, url, **kwargs).
• All other methods internally call this function.
• The request function’s implementation is straightforward:

# By using the 'with' statement, we ensure the session is closed, 
# avoiding open sockets that could trigger a ResourceWarning or appear as a memory leak.
with sessions.Session() as session:
    return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)

• A session instance is created, and the request method is called on it.
• Next steps: Study the sessions module.
