Information about FastHTTP.

What is FastHTTP?¶

FastHTTP is a lightweight asynchronous HTTP client framework built on top of httpx. It provides a clean decorator-based API for defining HTTP requests and handling responses.

Features¶

Declarative style - Define requests as functions with decorators
Async support - Parallel request execution with asyncio
Dependencies - Modify requests before sending
Tags - Group and filter requests
Middleware - Global logic for all requests
Pydantic - Response validation
HTTP/2 - Modern protocol support
CLI - Convenient command line interface
Built-in security - SSRF protection, circuit breaker

Why FastHTTP?¶

Traditional HTTP clients require verbose boilerplate code:

# Too much boilerplate
import aiohttp

async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get("https://api.example.com/data") as resp:
            data = await resp.json()

FastHTTP simplifies this:

# Clean and simple
from fasthttp import FastHTTP

app = FastHTTP()

@app.get(url="https://api.example.com/data")
async def main(resp):
    return resp.json()
