| If requests-cache isn't quite what you need, you can help make it better! See the |
| {ref}`Contributing Guide <contributing>` for details. |
| |
| You can also check out these other python projects related to caching HTTP requests: |
| |
| ## General |
| * [CacheControl](https://github.com/ionrock/cachecontrol): An HTTP cache for `requests` that caches |
| according to HTTP headers |
| * [diskcache](https://github.com/grantjenks/python-diskcache): A general-purpose (not HTTP-specific) |
| file-based cache built on SQLite |
| |
| ## Async |
| * [aiohttp-client-cache](https://github.com/JWCook/aiohttp-client-cache): A client-side async cache |
| for `aiohttp`, based on `requests-cache` |
| * [aiohttp-cache](https://github.com/cr0hn/aiohttp-cache): A server-side async HTTP cache for the |
| `aiohttp` web server |
| * [aiocache](https://github.com/aio-libs/aiocache): General-purpose (not HTTP-specific) async cache |
| backends |
| |
| ## Other web frameworks |
| * [flask-caching](https://github.com/sh4nks/flask-caching): A server-side HTTP cache for |
| applications using the Flask framework |
| |
| ## Testing |
| * [requests-mock](https://github.com/jamielennox/requests-mock): A `requests` transport adapter that |
| mocks HTTP responses |
| * [responses](https://github.com/getsentry/responses): A utility for mocking out the `requests` |
| library |
| * [vcrpy](https://github.com/kevin1024/vcrpy): Records responses to local files and plays them back |
| for tests; inspired by Ruby's [VCR](https://github.com/vcr/vcr). Works at the `httplib` level and |
| is compatible with multiple HTTP libraries. |
| * [betamax](https://github.com/betamaxpy/betamax): Records responses to local files and plays them |
| back for tests; also inspired by Ruby's [VCR](https://github.com/vcr/vcr). Made specifically for |
| `requests`. |
| * [HTTPretty](https://github.com/gabrielfalcao/HTTPretty): HTTP Client mocking tool that provides a full fake TCP socket module; inspired by Ruby's [FakeWeb](https://github.com/chrisk/fakeweb). |
| * [aioresponses](https://github.com/pnuckowski/aioresponses): A helper to mock web requests in `aiohttp`, inspired by `responses` |
| * [aresponses](https://github.com/aresponses/aresponses): An asyncio testing server for mocking external services |
