Asynchronous User Information Fetching with aiohttp

  • Share this:

Code introduction


This function uses the aiohttp library to fetch user information from a random user API and print it out. The function first creates an asynchronous event loop, then creates a client session using aiohttp, sends a GET request to get the user information through the session, and finally prints the user information.


Technology Stack : aiohttp, asyncio

Code Type : Asynchronous network request

    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:

        print(f"Name: {user['results'][0]['name']['title']} {user['results'][0]['name']['first']} {user['results'][0]['name']['last']}")
        print(f"Email: {user['results'][0]['email']}")
        print(f"Phone: {user['results'][0]['phone']}")
