Features

Supports JA3/TLS and http2 fingerprints impersonation, including recent browsers and custom fingerprints.
Much faster than requests/httpx, on par with aiohttp/pycurl, see benchmarks.
Mimics the requests API, no need to learn another one.
Pre-compiled, so you don't have to compile on your machine.
Supports asyncio with proxy rotation on each request.
Supports http 2.0 & 3.0, which requests does not.
Supports websocket.
MIT licensed.

Notes:

For pycurl, you need an http/3 enabled libcurl to make it work, while curl_cffi packages libcurl-impersonate inside Python wheels.
Since v0.11.4.
