Key Features

  • Supports both client and server side of HTTP protocol.

  • Supports both client and server Web-Sockets out-of-the-box.

  • Web-server has middlewares and pluggable routing.

Getting started

Client

To retrieve something from the web:

import aiohttp
import asyncio
import async_timeout

async def fetch(session, url):
    with async_timeout.timeout(10):
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            return await response.text()

async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        html = await fetch(session, 'http://python.org')
        print(html)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

Server

This is simple usage example:

from aiohttp import web

async def handle(request):
    name = request.match_info.get('name', "Anonymous")
    text = "Hello, " + name
    return web.Response(text=text)

async def wshandler(request):
    ws = web.WebSocketResponse()
    await ws.prepare(request)

    async for msg in ws:
        if msg.type == web.MsgType.text:
            await ws.send_str("Hello, {}".format(msg.data))
        elif msg.type == web.MsgType.binary:
            await ws.send_bytes(msg.data)
        elif msg.type == web.MsgType.close:
            break

    return ws


app = web.Application()
app.router.add_get('/echo', wshandler)
app.router.add_get('/', handle)
app.router.add_get('/{name}', handle)

web.run_app(app)

Note: examples are written for Python 3.5+ and utilize PEP-492 aka async/await. If you are using Python 3.4 please replace await with yield from and async def with @coroutine e.g.:

async def coro(...):
    ret = await f()

should be replaced by:

@asyncio.coroutine
def coro(...):
    ret = yield from f()

  • Make enable_compression work on HTTP/1.0 (#1828)

  • Deprecate registering synchronous web handlers (#1993)

  • Switch to multidict 3.0. All HTTP headers preserve casing now but compared in case-insensitive way. (#1994)

  • Improvement for normalize_path_middleware. Added possibility to handle URLs with query string. (#1995)

  • Use towncrier for CHANGES.txt build (#1997)

  • Implement trust_env=True param in ClientSession. (#1998)

  • Added variable to customize proxy headers (#2001)

  • Implement router.add_routes and router decorators. (#2004)

  • Deprecated BaseRequest.has_body in favor of BaseRequest.can_read_body Added BaseRequest.body_exists attribute that stays static for the lifetime of the request (#2005)

  • Provide BaseRequest.loop attribute (#2024)

  • Make _CoroGuard awaitable and fix ClientSession.close warning message (#2026)

  • Responses to redirects without Location header are returned instead of raising a RuntimeError (#2030)

  • Added get_client, get_server, setUpAsync and tearDownAsync methods to AioHTTPTestCase (#2032)

  • Add automatically a SafeChildWatcher to the test loop (#2058)

  • Add support for throttling DNS request, avoiding the requests saturation when there is a miss in the DNS cache and many requests getting into the connector at the same time. (#2111)

  • Use request for getting access log information instead of message/transport pair. Add RequestBase.remote property for accessing to IP of client initiated HTTP request. (#2123)

  • Don’t require ssl module to run. aiohttp does not require SSL to function. The code paths involved with SSL will only be hit upon SSL usage. Raise RuntimeError if HTTPS protocol is required but ssl module is not present. (#2221)
