## Background
The [requests](https://pypi.org/project/requests/) library is a popular library for sending HTTP requests in Python.
However, it does not provide adequate observability features out of the box such as tracing and logging. As such,
this library was built to decorate the requests library API to provide these opinionated features for common use
cases.
## Usage
The quickest way to get started is to install the package from PyPI:
```shell
pip install logging-http-client
```
For poetry users:
```shell
poetry add logging-http-client
```
### 1. Drop-in Replacement for requests
The library is designed to decorate requests library existing API.
Hence, you can use it in the same way you would use the [requests](https://pypi.org/project/requests/) library:
```python
import logging_http_client
response = logging_http_client.get('https://www.python.org')
print(response.status_code)
# => 200
```
Given it's built as a wrapper around the requests library, you can alias the
import to `requests` and use it as drop-in replacement for the requests' library.
```python
import logging_http_client as requests
response = requests.get('https://www.python.org')
print(response.status_code)
# => 200
```
The other HTTP methods are supported - see `requests.api`.
Full documentation is at: https://requests.readthedocs.io
### 2. Using the HTTP Client with reusable Sessions
The library provides a `LoggingHttpClient` class which is essentially a wrapper around the core component of the
requests library, the `Session` object, with additional features such as enabling reusable sessions or not.
```python
import logging_http_client
client = logging_http_client.create()
response = client.get('https://www.python.org')
print(response.status_code)
# => 200
```
#### i. Disabling Reusable Sessions For The HTTP Client
By default, the `LoggingHttpClient` class is created with a reusable session. If you want to disable this behaviour, you
can pass the `reusable_session=False` argument to the `create` method.
```python
import logging_http_client
client = logging_http_client.create(reusable_session=False)
response = client.get('https://www.python.org')
print(response.status_code)
# => 200
```
#### ii. Adding Shared Headers to the HTTP Client
You also have access to the session object headers within the `LoggingHttpClient` class, so you can add shared headers to the
session object [just like you would with the requests library](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#session-objects).
```python
import logging_http_client
client = logging_http_client.create()
client.shared_headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer <token>"}
# To clear the headers, you can set it to None
client.shared_headers = None
# or delete the attribute
del client.shared_headers
```
#### iii. Setting the client's `x-source`
It's common to set a `x-source` header to identify the source of the request.
You can set this header on the client by passing the `source` argument to the
`create` method.
```python
import logging
import logging_http_client
root_logger = logging.getLogger()
root_logger.setLevel(level=logging.INFO)
client = logging_http_client.create(source="my-system-name", logger=root_logger)
response = client.get('https://www.python.org')
# => Log record will include:
# { http { request_source: "my-system-name", ... } }
```
#### iii. `x-request-id` is automatically set
The library automatically sets a `x-request-id` header on the request, and is logged within the response as well. The
`x-request-id` is a UUID that is generated for each request, and it's attached on both the request and the response
logs.
```python
import logging
import logging_http_client
root_logger = logging.getLogger()
root_logger.setLevel(level=logging.INFO)
client = logging_http_client.create(source="my-system-name", logger=root_logger)
response = client.get('https://www.python.org')
# => The client will append the `x-request-id` header to the request
#
# => Both request and response log records will include:
# { http { request_id: "<uuid>", ... } }
# => The reqeust log record will also attach it as a header:
# { http { request_headers: { "x-request-id": "<uuid>", ... }, ... } }
```
#### iv. `x-correlation-id` can be automatically set
It's common to set a `x-correlation-id` header to identify the correlation of the request within a distributed system.
Instead of having to set this header manually every single request you make, you can pass a correlation ID generator
function to the client, and it will automatically set the `x-correlation-id` header for each request.
> [!WARNING]
> Be aware that `x-request-id` is not the same as `x-correlation-id`.
>
> The `x-request-id` is unique to each request, while the `x-correlation-id` is used to correlate requests within a
> chain of events that can span multiple services, this is common in a microservice architecture. Please ensure you
> understand the difference between the two whilst using them with this library.
```python
import uuid
import logging_http_client
def correlation_id_provider() -> str:
return str(uuid.uuid4())
logging_http_client.set_correlation_id_provider(correlation_id_provider)
logging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')
# => The client will append the `x-correlation-id` header to the request
#
# => The request log records will include:
# { http { request_headers: { "x-correlation-id": "<uuid>", ... }, ... } }
```
Do note we do NOT set the `x-correlation-id` header on the response, it's the responsibility of the server to set it
back on the response, if they don't, then you need to relay on your logging setup to append the `correlation_id` as an
extra log record attribute on the client side by other means.
### 3. Custom Logging Hooks
The library provides a way to attach custom logging hooks at the global level. They're intended to REPLACE the
default logging behaviour with your own logging logic. Here is how you can apply:
#### i. Request Logging Hook
The request logging hook is called **before** the request is sent. It gives you access to the client logger, and
the [prepared request](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#prepared-requests) object. You can
use this hook to log the request before it's sent.
```python
import logging
from requests import PreparedRequest
import logging_http_client
def custom_request_logging_hook(logger: logging.Logger, request: PreparedRequest):
logger.debug("Custom request logging for %s", request.url)
logging_http_client.set_custom_request_logging_hook(custom_request_logging_hook)
logging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')
# => Log record will include:
# { message { "Custom request logging for https://www.python.org" } }
```
#### ii. Response Logging Hook
The response logging hook is called **after** the response is received. It gives you access to the client logger, and
the [response object](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/#requests.Response). You can use this hook to log
the response after it's received.
```python
import logging
from requests import Response
import logging_http_client
def custom_response_logging_hook(logger: logging.Logger, response: Response):
logger.debug("Custom response logging for %s", response.url)
logging_http_client.set_custom_response_logging_hook(custom_response_logging_hook)
logging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')
# => Log record will include:
# { message { "Custom response logging for https://www.python.org" } }
```
### 4. Default Logging Configurations
The default logging comes with a set of configurations that can be customised to suit your needs.
#### i. Disabling Request or Response Logging
You can disable request or response logging by calling the `disable_request_logging` or `disable_response_logging`
methods respectively. This will prevent the library from generating log records for requests or responses UNLESS you
have custom logging hooks set.
```python
import logging_http_client
logging_http_client.disable_request_logging()
logging_http_client.disable_response_logging()
logging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')
# => No request log record will be generated
# => No response log record will be generated
```
#### ii. Enabling Request or Response Body Logging
By default, the library does not log the request or response body. You can enable this by calling the `enable_request_body_logging`
or `enable_response_body_logging` methods respectively. This will log the request or response body in the log record.
```python
import logging_http_client
logging_http_client.enable_request_body_logging()
logging_http_client.enable_response_body_logging()
logging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')
# => Log record will include the request or response body (if present)
```
### 5. Obscuring Sensitive Data
The library provides a way to obscure sensitive data in the request or response log records. This is useful when you
want to log the request or response body but want to obscure sensitive data such as passwords, tokens, etc.
#### i. Request Log Record Obscurer
You can set a request log record obscurer by calling the `set_request_log_record_obscurer` method. The obscurer
function should take a `HttpLogRecord` object and expects to return a modified `HttpLogRecord` object. The obscurer
function will be called JUST BEFORE the request is logged.
```python
import logging_http_client
from logging_http_client import HttpLogRecord
def request_log_record_obscurer(record: HttpLogRecord) -> HttpLogRecord:
record.request_method = "REDACTED"
if record.request_headers.get("Authorization") is not None:
record.request_headers["Authorization"] = "****"
return record
logging_http_client.set_request_log_record_obscurer(request_log_record_obscurer)
logging_http_client.create().get(
url='https://www.python.org',
headers={"Authorization": "Bearer SOME-SECRET-TOKEN"}
)
# => Log record will include:
# { http { request_headers: { "Authorization ": "****", ... }, ... } }
```
#### ii. Response Log Record Obscurer
Likewise, you can set a response log record obscurer by calling the `set_response_log_record_obscurer` method.
The obscurer function should take a `HttpLogRecord` object and expects to return a modified `HttpLogRecord` object.
```python
import logging_http_client
from logging_http_client import HttpLogRecord
def response_log_record_obscurer(record: HttpLogRecord) -> HttpLogRecord:
record.response_status = 999
if record.response_body is not None:
record.response_body = record.response_body.replace("SENSITIVE", "****")
return record
logging_http_client.set_response_log_record_obscurer(response_log_record_obscurer)
logging_http_client.enable_response_body_logging()
logging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')
# Assume the response body contains "some response body with SENSITIVE information"
# => Log record will include:
# { http { response_status: 999, response_body: "some response body with **** information", ... } }
```
## HTTP Log Record Structure
The library logs HTTP requests and responses as structured log records. The log records are structured as JSON
object passed to the logger's `extra` keyword argument. The log records are structured as follows:
```json
{
"http": {
"request_id": "<uuid>",
"request_source": "<source>",
"request_method": "<method>",
"request_url": "<url>",
"request_query_params": "<query_params>",
"request_headers": "<headers>",
"request_body": "<body>",
"response_status": "<status>",
"response_headers": "<headers>",
"response_duration_ms": "<duration>",
"response_body": "<body>"
}
}
```
If any of those top-level fields are `None`, `{}`, `[]`, `""`, `0`, or `0.0`,
they will be omitted from the log record for brevity purposes.
The actual data class used to represent the log record is `HttpLogRecord` and is available in the `logging_http_client`.
## Contributing
If you have any suggestions or improvements, feel free to open a PR or an issue. The build and development process has
been made to be as seamless as possible, so you can easily run and test your changes locally before submitting a PR.
### Prerequisites
- [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/): The project is built with Python 3.12.
- [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-the-official-installer): The dependency management tool of
choice for this project.
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/): For containerisation support, so it can be completely built and run
in an isolated environment.
- [Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/): For running common tasks such as installing dependencies, building the
project, running tests, etc.
### Environment Setup
Before opening the project in your IDE, I highly recommend running the following recipe:
```shell
make setup
```
This will create your Poetry's virtual environment, install the project's dependencies, set up the code quality
pre-commit hook, and configure your IDE (VSCode and PyCharm) as appropriate.
### Code Quality
We ask for adequate test coverage and adherence to the project's code quality standards. This includes running the
tests, formatter, and linter before submitting a PR. You can run the following command to ensure your changes are in
line with the project standards:
```bash
make check-code-quality
```
### Versioning Strategy
Since this project is tightly coupled with the requests library, we will follow the versioning strategy of the requests'
library. This means that the major, minor, and patch versions of this library will be the same as the requests' library
version it currently decorates. On top of that, an extra versioning suffix will be added to the end of the version to
indicate the iteration of this library.
So for example, if the requests library is at version `1.2.3`, then this library will be at version `1.2.3.X`, where `X`
is the iteration of this library, which will be numerical increments starting from `0`.
We have no intention to follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) strategy to version this library, as I've made
a design decision to keep the features of this library's as small as possible, i.e.
_"Do few things, but do them well..."_
So for the most part, the maintenance of this library will be keeping it up-to-date with newer versions of the
the [requests](https://pypi.org/project/requests/) library, whilist ensuring **everything** still works as expeceted.
Therefore, maintaining our high test coverage is crucial for long-term useability.

Custom Logging Hooks\n\nThe library provides a way to attach custom logging hooks at the global level. They're intended to REPLACE the\ndefault logging behaviour with your own logging logic. Here is how you can apply:\n\n#### i. Request Logging Hook\n\nThe request logging hook is called **before** the request is sent. It gives you access to the client logger, and\nthe [prepared request](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#prepared-requests) object. You can\nuse this hook to log the request before it's sent.\n\n```python\nimport logging\n\nfrom requests import PreparedRequest\n\nimport logging_http_client\n\n\ndef custom_request_logging_hook(logger: logging.Logger, request: PreparedRequest):\n logger.debug(\"Custom request logging for %s\", request.url)\n\n\nlogging_http_client.set_custom_request_logging_hook(custom_request_logging_hook)\n\nlogging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')\n\n# => Log record will include:\n# { message { \"Custom request logging for https://www.python.org\" } }\n```\n\n#### ii. Response Logging Hook\n\nThe response logging hook is called **after** the response is received. It gives you access to the client logger, and\nthe [response object](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/#requests.Response). You can use this hook to log\nthe response after it's received.\n\n```python\nimport logging\n\nfrom requests import Response\n\nimport logging_http_client\n\n\ndef custom_response_logging_hook(logger: logging.Logger, response: Response):\n logger.debug(\"Custom response logging for %s\", response.url)\n\n\nlogging_http_client.set_custom_response_logging_hook(custom_response_logging_hook)\n\nlogging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')\n\n# => Log record will include:\n# { message { \"Custom response logging for https://www.python.org\" } }\n```\n\n### 4. Default Logging Configurations\n\nThe default logging comes with a set of configurations that can be customised to suit your needs.\n\n#### i. Disabling Request or Response Logging\n\nYou can disable request or response logging by calling the `disable_request_logging` or `disable_response_logging`\nmethods respectively. This will prevent the library from generating log records for requests or responses UNLESS you\nhave custom logging hooks set.\n\n```python\nimport logging_http_client\n\nlogging_http_client.disable_request_logging()\nlogging_http_client.disable_response_logging()\n\nlogging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')\n# => No request log record will be generated\n# => No response log record will be generated\n```\n\n#### ii. Enabling Request or Response Body Logging\n\nBy default, the library does not log the request or response body. You can enable this by calling the `enable_request_body_logging`\nor `enable_response_body_logging` methods respectively. This will log the request or response body in the log record.\n\n```python\nimport logging_http_client\n\nlogging_http_client.enable_request_body_logging()\nlogging_http_client.enable_response_body_logging()\n\nlogging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')\n# => Log record will include the request or response body (if present)\n```\n\n### 5. Obscuring Sensitive Data\n\nThe library provides a way to obscure sensitive data in the request or response log records. This is useful when you\nwant to log the request or response body but want to obscure sensitive data such as passwords, tokens, etc.\n\n#### i. Request Log Record Obscurer\n\nYou can set a request log record obscurer by calling the `set_request_log_record_obscurer` method. The obscurer\nfunction should take a `HttpLogRecord` object and expects to return a modified `HttpLogRecord` object. The obscurer\nfunction will be called JUST BEFORE the request is logged.\n\n```python\nimport logging_http_client\nfrom logging_http_client import HttpLogRecord\n\n\ndef request_log_record_obscurer(record: HttpLogRecord) -> HttpLogRecord:\n record.request_method = \"REDACTED\"\n if record.request_headers.get(\"Authorization\") is not None:\n record.request_headers[\"Authorization\"] = \"****\"\n return record\n\n\nlogging_http_client.set_request_log_record_obscurer(request_log_record_obscurer)\n\nlogging_http_client.create().get(\n url='https://www.python.org',\n headers={\"Authorization\": \"Bearer SOME-SECRET-TOKEN\"}\n)\n\n# => Log record will include:\n# { http { request_headers: { \"Authorization \": \"****\", ... }, ... } }\n```\n\n#### ii. Response Log Record Obscurer\n\nLikewise, you can set a response log record obscurer by calling the `set_response_log_record_obscurer` method.\nThe obscurer function should take a `HttpLogRecord` object and expects to return a modified `HttpLogRecord` object.\n\n```python\nimport logging_http_client\nfrom logging_http_client import HttpLogRecord\n\n\ndef response_log_record_obscurer(record: HttpLogRecord) -> HttpLogRecord:\n record.response_status = 999\n if record.response_body is not None:\n record.response_body = record.response_body.replace(\"SENSITIVE\", \"****\")\n return record\n\n\nlogging_http_client.set_response_log_record_obscurer(response_log_record_obscurer)\nlogging_http_client.enable_response_body_logging()\n\nlogging_http_client.create().get('https://www.python.org')\n# Assume the response body contains \"some response body with SENSITIVE information\" \n\n# => Log record will include:\n# { http { response_status: 999, response_body: \"some response body with **** information\", ... } }\n```\n\n## HTTP Log Record Structure\n\nThe library logs HTTP requests and responses as structured log records. The log records are structured as JSON\nobject passed to the logger's `extra` keyword argument. The log records are structured as follows:\n\n```json\n{\n \"http\": {\n \"request_id\": \"<uuid>\",\n \"request_source\": \"<source>\",\n \"request_method\": \"<method>\",\n \"request_url\": \"<url>\",\n \"request_query_params\": \"<query_params>\",\n \"request_headers\": \"<headers>\",\n \"request_body\": \"<body>\",\n \"response_status\": \"<status>\",\n \"response_headers\": \"<headers>\",\n \"response_duration_ms\": \"<duration>\",\n \"response_body\": \"<body>\"\n }\n}\n```\n\nIf any of those top-level fields are `None`, `{}`, `[]`, `\"\"`, `0`, or `0.0`,\nthey will be omitted from the log record for brevity purposes.\n\nThe actual data class used to represent the log record is `HttpLogRecord` and is available in the `logging_http_client`.\n\n## Contributing\n\nIf you have any suggestions or improvements, feel free to open a PR or an issue. The build and development process has\nbeen made to be as seamless as possible, so you can easily run and test your changes locally before submitting a PR.\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/): The project is built with Python 3.12.\n- [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-the-official-installer): The dependency management tool of\n choice for this project.\n- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/): For containerisation support, so it can be completely built and run\n in an isolated environment.\n- [Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/): For running common tasks such as installing dependencies, building the\n project, running tests, etc.\n\n### Environment Setup\n\nBefore opening the project in your IDE, I highly recommend running the following recipe:\n\n```shell\nmake setup\n```\n\nThis will create your Poetry's virtual environment, install the project's dependencies, set up the code quality\npre-commit hook, and configure your IDE (VSCode and PyCharm) as appropriate.\n\n### Code Quality\n\nWe ask for adequate test coverage and adherence to the project's code quality standards. This includes running the\ntests, formatter, and linter before submitting a PR. You can run the following command to ensure your changes are in\nline with the project standards:\n\n```bash\nmake check-code-quality\n```\n\n### Versioning Strategy\n\nSince this project is tightly coupled with the requests library, we will follow the versioning strategy of the requests'\nlibrary. This means that the major, minor, and patch versions of this library will be the same as the requests' library\nversion it currently decorates. On top of that, an extra versioning suffix will be added to the end of the version to \nindicate the iteration of this library.\n\nSo for example, if the requests library is at version `1.2.3`, then this library will be at version `1.2.3.X`, where `X`\nis the iteration of this library, which will be numerical increments starting from `0`. \n\nWe have no intention to follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) strategy to version this library, as I've made\na design decision to keep the features of this library's as small as possible, i.e. \n\n_\"Do few things, but do them well...\"_\n\nSo for the most part, the maintenance of this library will be keeping it up-to-date with newer versions of the\nthe [requests](https://pypi.org/project/requests/) library, whilist ensuring **everything** still works as expeceted.\nTherefore, maintaining our high test coverage is crucial for long-term useability.\n\n___\n",
