async http request library

[Rai0Catodic0]

Hello everyone,

I recently did a project using the ESP32 port, and I wanted to make async HTTP requisitions, but I think a library for that doesn't exist yet. I was thinking about trying to implement that, but I've never tried implementing a library for an embedded system.
Do you guys have any tips on where to start and which parts of the repository should I look into?

thanks : )

Maybe what you are talking about already exists?

The preferred web framework is microdot rather than picoweb.

Been using picoweb for a while and had good results. Why is microdot preferred? Haven't done any analysis other than file size (microdot 41KB, picoweb 11KB).

Picoweb works fine, but there is a potential maintenance issue.

Picoweb is primarily targeted at Pycopy rather than MicroPython. It was written, and is maintained, by Paul Sokolovsky who is also the maintainer of Pycopy. In the past it required minor modification to run under MP. There is no guarantee of future MP compatibility.

@Rai0Catodic0 Did you find any solution? I'm looking for the same, but only find blocking HTTP clients.

There are two client libraries in micropython-lib: aiohttp and uaiohttpclient . Either can be installed using mpremote mip install.

I've used uaiohttpclient and it worked well for me.
