The history of **FastAPI** is in great part the history of its predecessors.

As said in the section [Alternatives](alternatives.md){.internal-link target=_blank}:

**FastAPI** wouldn't exist if not for the previous work of others.

The HTTP client’s job is to accept your request and produce its response. This is simple in theory but it gets tricky in practice.

## [Requests](https://square.github.io/okhttp/4.x/okhttp/okhttp3/-request/)

Each HTTP request contains a URL, a method (like `GET` or `POST`), and a list of headers. Requests may also contain a body: a data stream of a specific content type.
