Reqboost

Reqboost is a high-performance Python library developed primarily in C++ and built on libcurl. It is designed for developers who need a fast, efficient HTTP client with minimal overhead and extensive control.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have libcurl, poco ( and pkg-config in case of UNIX-systems) install on your system

Linux

Ubuntu/Debian-based Systems

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libpoco-dev
sudo apt-get install pkg-config
sudo apt-get install nlohmann-json3-dev

Fedora-based Systems

sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install libcurl-devel
sudo dnf install poco-devel
sudo dnf install pkg-config
sudo dnf install nlohmann-json3-dev

MacOS

brew install curl
brew install poco
brew install pkgconfig
brew install nlohmann-json

Windows

Download the latest Windows binary from the libcurl website and following environment variables.

setx CURL_INCLUDE_DIR "C:\path\to\curl\include"
setx CURL_LIB_DIR "C:\path\to\curl\lib"
setx POCO_INCLUDE_DIR "C:\path\to\poco\include"
setx POCO_LIB_DIR "C:\path\to\poco\lib"

Binaries can be downloaded for UNIX-based systems also

Installation

Clone the repo and install:

git clone https://github.com/Khushiyant/reqboost.git
cd reqboost
pip install .

Above example will install in root, so try to use virtual environment for installation

Use direct github installation

pip install git+https://github.com/Khushiyant/reqboost.git

Contribution

Contributions are welcome! If you find a bug or have a feature request, please open an issue on the Reqboost GitHub repository.

Troubleshooting Builds

In case, modified code builds are not reflected in final build due to caching of previous builds. Use the following commands:

python setup.py clean --all
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
