Async APIs are a key aspect of Python's asynchronous programming capabilities. They allow developers to write code that can handle multiple operations concurrently, improving the performance of I/O-bound and high-level structured network code.

  • Features of Async APIs:

    • Non-blocking I/O operations
    • Improved performance with event loops
    • Asynchronous calls to APIs
  • Examples of Async APIs:

    • aiohttp for asynchronous HTTP requests
    • aiosqlite for asynchronous SQLite database operations
  • Why Use Async APIs?

    • Efficiency: Handle multiple I/O operations without blocking the main thread.
    • Scalability: Scale applications to handle more concurrent connections.
    • Simplicity: Use Python's asyncio library to write asynchronous code.
