# Aiohttp session

AiohttpSession represents a wrapper-class around `ClientSession` from [aiohttp](https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp/ "PyPi repository"){target=_blank}

Currently `AiohttpSession` is a default session used in `aiogram.Bot`

## Usage example

```python
from aiogram import Bot
from aiogram.api.client.session.aiohttp import AiohttpSession

session = AiohttpSession()
Bot('token', session=session)
```


## Proxy requests in AiohttpSession

In order to use AiohttpSession with proxy connector you have to install [aiohttp-socks](https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp-socks/ "PyPi repository"){target=_blank}

Binding session to bot:
```python
from aiogram import Bot
from aiogram.api.client.session.aiohttp import AiohttpSession

session = AiohttpSession(proxy="protocol://host:port/")
Bot(token="bot token", session=session)
```

!!! note "Protocols"
    Only following protocols are supported: http(tunneling), socks4(a), socks5 as aiohttp_socks documentation claims.


### Authorization

Proxy authorization credentials can be specified in proxy URL or come as an instance of `aiohttp.BasicAuth` containing 
login and password.

Consider examples:
```python
from aiohttp import BasicAuth
from aiogram.api.client.session.aiohttp import AiohttpSession

auth = BasicAuth(login="user", password="password")
session = AiohttpSession(proxy=("protocol://host:port", auth))
# or simply include your basic auth credential in URL
session = AiohttpSession(proxy="protocol://user:password@host:port")
```

!!! note "Credential priorities"
    Aiogram prefers `BasicAuth` over username and password in URL, so 
    if proxy URL contains login and password and `BasicAuth` object is passed at the same time
    aiogram will use login and password from `BasicAuth` instance.


### Proxy chains

Since [aiohttp-socks]('https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp-socks/') supports proxy chains, you're able to use them in aiogram 

Example of chain proxies:
```python
from aiohttp import BasicAuth
from aiogram.api.client.session.aiohttp import AiohttpSession

auth = BasicAuth(login="user", password="password")
session = AiohttpSession(
    proxy={"protocol0://host0:port0",
           "protocol1://user:password@host1:port1",
           ("protocol2://host2:port2", auth),}  # can be any iterable if not set
)
```
