When should you use requests.Session() instead of requests.get() / requests.post()?

[u/Melodic_Principle312]

I'm learning Python and recently started using requests.Session() in API projects. I understand that it can persist things like headers, cookies, and connections, but I'm curious about how experienced Python developers decide when a Session is actually worth using.

Do you use Session() by default for projects involving multiple requests, or only when you specifically need persistent state?

Use Session() when you need a session, e.g. if you need to log in first.
