In the Requests library, the Session object is used to manage connections. It retains parameters and cookies between requests, allowing for the reuse of TCP connections, which improves performance. By creating a session, you can set common headers, authentication, and other settings that will apply to all requests through this session.
Example of usage:
import requests
with requests.Session() as session:
session.headers.update({'User-Agent': 'my-app/1.0'})
response = session.get('https://example.com')
print(response.status_code)
This approach reduces the overhead of establishing connections and simplifies state management between requests.
