In this chapter, we covered a few basic topics. We learned why Requests is better than urllib2, how to make a simple request, different types of response contents, adding custom headers to our Requests, dealing with form encoded data, using the status code lookups, locating request redirection location and about timeouts.

In the next chapter, we will learn the advanced concepts in Requests, in depth, which will help us to use the Requests library flexibly, according to the requirements.
