It wraps the requests library and manages authentication transparently, supporting both basic (API key/secret) and JWT authentication methods. The package is primarily used internally by the vonage Python SDK, though it can be installed and used independently.\n\nThe client is initialized with an Auth instance for credentials and optional HttpClientOptions to configure API hosts, timeouts, connection pooling, and retry behavior. It exposes methods for GET and POST requests, caches the last request and response for debugging, and allows customization of the User-Agent header. Error handling is provided through dedicated exception classes like HttpRequestError.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are using the vonage SDK or need direct control over HTTP requests to Vonage APIs. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and carries a permissive license. Install it only if you have a specific reason to use it independently; most users should rely on the higher-level vonage SDK instead."},"id":"vonage-http-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vonage-http-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/vonage-http-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/vonage-http-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"vonage-http-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"An HTTP client for making requests to Vonage APIs."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":337789,"position":7445,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.2"}
