What it is and what it does
This is an Apache Airflow provider package that adds HTTP capabilities to Airflow workflows. It supplies operators, hooks, and sensors that let you make HTTP requests, call REST APIs, and integrate with web services as part of your data pipelines. The package wraps requests and aiohttp to handle both synchronous and asynchronous HTTP operations.
You install it on top of an existing Airflow installation (apache-airflow 2.11.0 or later) to unlock HTTP-based task types in your DAGs. It depends on requests, requests-toolbelt, aiohttp, pydantic, and apache-airflow-providers-common-compat. The package is actively maintained, production-stable, and supports Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14.
Use it for
- Call external REST APIs from Airflow tasks to fetch or push data as part of a workflow.
- Poll HTTP endpoints periodically using sensors to trigger downstream tasks when data is available.
- Integrate third-party web services and webhooks into orchestrated data pipelines.
- Make asynchronous HTTP requests to handle high-concurrency scenarios without blocking workers.
- Build HTTP-based health checks or monitoring tasks within your Airflow DAGs.
