Utility Functions:

  1. requests.session(): Creates a session object for managing and persisting parameters across multiple requests.

  2. requests.cookies(): Represents the cookies sent in the request.

  3. requests.utils(): Utility functions for working with URLs and query strings.

  4. requests.exceptions: Module containing exceptions raised by requests.

  5. requests.adapters: Module containing classes for managing connection pools and retries.
