Zapros Integration (Recommended) ​

Zapros is a modern Python HTTP client developed by the same author as Hishel. It uses Hishel as its native caching library out of the box, providing the best integration experience with RFC 9111-compliant HTTP caching without any additional setup.

Installation ​

bash
pip install zapros[caching]

Quick Start ​

python
from zapros import Client, CacheMiddleware, StdNetworkHandler

client = Client(handler=CacheMiddleware(StdNetworkHandler()))

response = client.get("https://api.example.com/data")
print(response.context.get("caching"))  # {'from_cache': False, ...}

response = client.get("https://api.example.com/data")
print(response.context.get("caching"))  # {'from_cache': True, ...}
python
from zapros import AsyncClient, CacheMiddleware, AsyncStdNetworkHandler

client = AsyncClient(handler=CacheMiddleware(AsyncStdNetworkHandler()))

response = await client.get("https://api.example.com/data")
print(response.context.get("caching"))  # {'from_cache': False, ...}

response = await client.get("https://api.example.com/data")
print(response.context.get("caching"))  # {'from_cache': True, ...}
