Chunks (streaming response)

Chunks is way to read response body partially without awaiting when the whole body will be sent. It's useful when response is large. Use this pattern to iterate over chunks

Get image by parts

client = reqsnaked.Client()
request = reqsnaked.Request(
    "GET", "https://httpbin.org/image/jpeg",  # (1)
)
response = await client.send(request)
stream = response.to_stream()
while chunk := await stream.gnaw():
    print(chunk)

1. This endpoint returns an image

async def main():
    client = reqsnaked.Client()
    request = reqsnaked.Request(
        "GET", "https://httpbin.org/image/jpeg",
    )
    response = await client.send(request)
    stream = response.to_stream()
    while chunk := await stream.gnaw():
        print(chunk)

asyncio.run(main())

Failure

You cannot read from body when creating a streamer
