It provides keywords for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE and other HTTP methods, with support for sessions, authentication, headers, JSON bodies, and status code assertions. You write tests in Robot Framework's plain-text or YAML format, and the library handles the HTTP communication and response parsing.\n\nThe library is designed for teams automating REST API testing without writing Python code. Version 0.9 introduced sessionless keywords (you can call GET directly without creating a session first) and implicit status code assertions that fail the test automatically on error responses. It depends on robotframework and requests, both widely-used packages, and installs as a pure Python wheel with low friction.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. RequestsLibrary is stable and permissively licensed, making it a solid choice for Robot Framework-based API testing. However, the aging maintenance status (last release April 2024, no commits since December 2025) means you should verify compatibility with your current Robot Framework and Python versions before adopting it in new projects. If you're already using Robot Framework and need to test HTTP APIs, it remains a practical option; if you're starting fresh, check whether the project is still actively maintained."},"id":"robotframework-requests","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotframework-requests","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotframework-requests.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/robotframework-requests/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-04-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"robotframework-requests","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Robot Framework keyword library wrapper around requests"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1937361,"position":3421,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.7"}
