Requests is an HTTP library for Python-based programs. It is under active development and not deprecated at all. While writing this answer, the latest release of Requests was in January 2023. Around 1.8 million+ repositories depend on this project so the chances of Requests being deprecated are very slim. Its maintenance and further development falls under the umbrella of the Python Software Foundation. There are alternatives like the httpx project but their existence does not mean that the original Requests project is dead or deprecated.
