Python has many different HTTP clients that can be used for web scraping. However, not all of them support HTTP2 which can be vital in avoiding web scraper blocking.
Here are the most popular HTTP clients that support HTTP2:
import httpx
with httpx.Client(http2=True) as client:
response = client.get("https://httpbin.dev/anything")
import h2.connection
import h2.config
config = h2.config.H2Configuration()
conn = h2.connection.H2Connection(config=config)
conn.send_headers(stream_id=stream_id, headers=headers)
conn.send_data(stream_id, data)
socket.sendall(conn.data_to_send())
events = conn.receive_data(socket_data)
So, it's best to stick to httpx for HTTP2 though if you have a complex use case h2 can be adapted to extendible libraries like twisted.
