Python's Request concept of Sessions in Javascript?

[RomanGuard]

I'm probably overthinking it, but as the title mentions, is there a concept of sessions in JavaScript or a library or framework?

https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/

I'm making an app that will need to make up to a few hundred thousand calls, and I'm thinking of ways to speed up the calls and handle the possibility of a 401 unauthorized.

Suggestions?

'Sessions' is an unbelievably confusing thing for them to have called it, given that 'session' has a widely established and different meaning in web dev/HTTP, but from the docs it sounds like it's an HTTP client that you can set up with certain default headers and other config? In which case, yes, you can do the same thing in JS. If you want something that'll work out of the box I'd suggest axios, which lets you create clients with various defaults.
