# HTTP GET Arrow Data: Indirect Python Client Example with Requests

This directory contains an example of an HTTP client implemented in Python using the [Requests](https://requests.readthedocs.io/) library. The client:
1. Sends a GET request to the server to get a JSON listing of the URIs of available `.arrows` files.
2. Sends GET requests to download each of the `.arrows` files from the server.
3. Loads the contents of each file into an in-memory PyArrow Table.

To run this example, first start one of the indirect server examples in the parent directory, then:

```sh
pip install requests pyarrow
python client.py
```
