In Python, the Requests module is used to easily send HTTP/1.1 requests. It is incredibly popular, having been downloaded over 14 million times.

The Python Requests Module

You can use pip to install the Requests module. To do so, enter the following command in your terminal:
```bash
$ python -m pip install requests
```

Installing the Python Requests Module

HTTP requests are very simple to make using the Requests module. Use the following functions to make any kind of basic HTTP request:
```python
requests.get('https://api.placeholderurl.com')
requests.post('https://placeholderurl.com/post', data = {'key', 'value'})
requests.put('https://placeholderurl.com/put', data = {'key', 'value'})
requests.delete('https://placeholderurl.com/delete')
requests.head('https://placeholderurl.com/get')
requests.options('https://placeholderurl.com/get')
```
Each function requires a URL parameter as a string, and both post and put require a dictionary parameter containing the relevant data you would like to send. Each function returns a Response object.
