It wraps the lower-level CircuitPython ConnectionManager to provide a simpler, more intuitive API for web requests\u2014similar to the standard Python requests library but tailored for resource-constrained embedded hardware.\n\nThe library is designed as part of the Adafruit CircuitPython ecosystem and integrates with Blinka to run on GNU/Linux systems like Raspberry Pi as well as native CircuitPython boards. It handles the networking plumbing so you can focus on making HTTP calls without wrestling with socket-level code on embedded platforms.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are developing for CircuitPython or Adafruit Blinka on Raspberry Pi and need HTTP client functionality. The library is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. Not applicable for standard Python applications\u2014use the standard requests library instead."},"id":"adafruit-circuitpython-requests","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/adafruit-circuitpython-requests","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/adafruit-circuitpython-requests.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-requests/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-23","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"adafruit-circuitpython-requests","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A requests-like library for web interfacing"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":146966,"position":11086,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.1.17"}
