Question 1

How to emulate Chrome TLS fingerprint with wreq?

Accepted Answer

Use the wreq-util library to select a Chrome profile like Emulation::ChromeLatest, then configure the client builder with it for automatic TLS and HTTP/2 settings based on the README's emulation examples.

Question 2

wreq vs reqwest: which is better for general HTTP requests?

Accepted Answer

Reqwest is better for general use due to its stability and wider adoption; wreq is specialized for bypassing bot protections with fingerprinting, making it overkill for simple APIs.

Question 3

Does wreq support HTTP/3?

Accepted Answer

No, the README only mentions HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 over TLS emulation, with no reference to HTTP/3, so it's not supported in the current version.

Question 4

How to set up rotating proxies in wreq?

Accepted Answer

wreq includes rotating proxy support as a feature, but implementation details require consulting the documentation or source code, as the README lists it without specific examples.

Question 5

Is wreq compatible with async-std runtime?

Accepted Answer

The example uses Tokio, and since wreq relies on async I/O, compatibility may depend on feature flags; check the crate's Cargo.toml for optional runtime integrations.

Question 6

What are the performance implications of using wreq for simple requests?

Accepted Answer

Due to its focus on emulation and low-level control, wreq may introduce higher latency for simple requests compared to lightweight clients, but it's optimized for complex scenarios like fingerprinting.
