Its API simplifies standards-compliant HTTP resource traversal and RESTful web service consumption without obscuring the underlying protocol. The library manually implements HTTP over TCP sockets; as such it has no dependency on `ext/curl`. Deprecation ----------- [](#deprecation) This repository is deprecated in favor of [`amphp/http-client`](https://github.com/amphp/http-client). It still exists to keep Packagist working as before. Features -------- [](#features) - Requests asynchronously for full single-threaded concurrency - Pools persistent keep-alive connections - Transparently follows redirects - Decodes gzipped entity bodies - Exposes headers and message data - Streams entity bodies for memory management with large transfers - Supports all standard and custom HTTP method verbs - Simplifies HTTP form submissions - Implements secure-by-default TLS (`https://`) - Supports cookies and sessions - Functions seamlessly behind HTTP proxies Project Goals ------------- [](#project-goals) - Model all code as closely as possible to the relevant HTTP protocol RFCs - Implement an HTTP/1.1 client built on raw socket streams with no `libcurl` dependency Installation ------------ [](#installation) This package can be installed as a [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) dependency. ``` composer require amphp/artax ``` Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) Documentation is bundled within this repository in the [`docs`](./docs) directory. Examples -------- [](#examples) More extensive code examples reside in the [`examples`](./examples) directory. Versioning ---------- [](#versioning) `amphp/artax` followed the [semver](http://semver.org/) semantic versioning specification like all other `amphp` packages. There won't be any new releases anymore. Security -------- [](#security) This repository is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to [`amphp/http-client`](https://github.com/amphp/http-client) instead. License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT). Please see [`LICENSE`](./LICENSE) for more information. ### Health Score 47 — FairBetter than 93% of packages Maintenance59 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity26 Limited adoption so far Community24 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity71 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 72.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~37 days Recently: every ~27 days Total 51 Last Release 3071d ago Major Versions v1.0.4 → v2.0.42016-07-18 1.x-dev → v2.0.62017-05-09 v2.0.6 → v3.0.02017-07-09 v2.0.7 → v3.0.42017-07-14 2.x-dev → v3.0.62017-10-07 PHP version history (4 changes)v0.1.0PHP >=5.3 v0.3.7PHP >=5.4.0 v1.0.0-beta2PHP >=5.5.0 v3.0.0PHP >=7.0 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5fb7ff51d9c4671708fbc37b93dc7c2b2d671d4bf2143ee2484d76a00a8e699a?d=identicon)[rdlowrey](/maintainers/rdlowrey) --- Top Contributors [![rdlowrey](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1259291?v=4)](https://github.com/rdlowrey "rdlowrey (762 commits)")[![kelunik](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2743004?v=4)](https://github.com/kelunik "kelunik (177 commits)")[![morrisonlevi](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/253316?v=4)](https://github.com/morrisonlevi "morrisonlevi (31 commits)")[![bwoebi](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3154871?v=4)](https://github.com/bwoebi "bwoebi (19 commits)")[![DaveRandom](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2396425?v=4)](https://github.com/DaveRandom "DaveRandom (14 commits)")[![trowski](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1628287?v=4)](https://github.com/trowski "trowski (11 commits)")[![lt](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1503065?v=4)](https://github.com/lt "lt (4 commits)")[![brstgt](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/331879?v=4)](https://github.com/brstgt "brstgt (4 commits)")[![worried-networking](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/629281?v=4)](https://github.com/worried-networking "worried-networking (2 commits)")[![ck99](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/136840?v=4)](https://github.com/ck99 "ck99 (2 commits)")[![hakre](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/378849?v=4)](https://github.com/hakre "hakre (2 commits)")[![MadaraUchiha](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1188951?v=4)](https://github.com/MadaraUchiha "MadaraUchiha (2 commits)")[![Ocramius](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/154256?v=4)](https://github.com/Ocramius "Ocramius (2 commits)")[![PeeHaa](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1330296?v=4)](https://github.com/PeeHaa "PeeHaa (2 commits)")[![staabm](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/120441?v=4)](https://github.com/staabm "staabm (2 commits)")[![m6w6](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1265282?v=4)](https://github.com/m6w6 "m6w6 (1 commits)")[![robik](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/681837?v=4)](https://github.com/robik "robik (1 commits)")[![mickaelandrieu](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1247388?v=4)](https://github.com/mickaelandrieu "mickaelandrieu (1 commits)")[![douggr](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/20275?v=4)](https://github.com/douggr "douggr (1 commits)")[![asm89](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/657357?v=4)](https://github.com/asm89 "asm89 (1 commits)") --- Tags amphpartaxasynchttphttp-clienthttpsphphttpasyncnon-blockingclientrestparallel ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit Code StylePHP CS Fixer ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/rdlowrey-artax/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/rdlowrey-artax/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/rdlowrey-artax) ``` ### Alternatives [amphp/http-client An advanced async HTTP client library for PHP, enabling efficient, non-blocking, and concurrent requests and responses. 7308.5M190](/packages/amphp-http-client)[amphp/http-server A non-blocking HTTP application server for PHP based on Amp. 1.3k5.9M104](/packages/amphp-http-server)[danog/madelineproto Async PHP client API for the telegram MTProto protocol. 3.4k885.1k22](/packages/danog-madelineproto)[amphp/websocket-client Async WebSocket client for PHP based on Amp. 1624.3M54](/packages/amphp-websocket-client)[amphp/socket Non-blocking socket connection / server implementations based on Amp and Revolt. 26746.6M142](/packages/amphp-socket)[amphp/websocket Shared code for websocket servers and clients. 464.4M10](/packages/amphp-websocket) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
