requests-html is a Python HTML parsing library and web scraping framework. It functions as an asynchronous HTTP client and a JavaScript rendering engine designed to fetch and parse web pages for structured data extraction.
The project integrates a headless browser to execute JavaScript, allowing it to retrieve dynamically generated content that standard HTML parsers cannot see. It provides tools for automated data extraction using CSS selectors and XPath expressions to isolate specific text or attributes from HTML structures.
The framework covers network operations including asynchronous page fetching, session state management with cookies, and connection pooling. It also includes utilities for hyperlink retrieval to harvest and normalize URLs from websites.
