Python is one of the evolving language of our era, and it's gaining a lot of attention these days. It is one of the powerful and flexible open source languages instilled with powerful libraries. For every python developer, Requests is the library that comes to mind first when he/she needs to interact with the Web. With its batteries included Requests turned the process of interacting with Web a cakewalk and stands as one of the world's best client with more than 42 million downloads.

With the rise of social media, APIs turn to be a must have part of every application, and interacting with them in the best way possible is going to be a challenge. Getting to know how to interact with APIs, building an API, scraping the web, and such stuff will help every budding web developer to reach new heights.
