 # Requests utilities
 
-A set of small utilities that attempts to standardize and ease the experience
-of working with `requests_cache` and `requests_ratelimiter`.
+Utility for standarized usage of [`requests_cache`](https://requests-cache.readthedocs.io) and [`requests_ratelimiter`](https://github.com/JWCook/requests-ratelimiter) in a modular fashion across different libraries.
+
+The intention is that a libraries can automatically setup ratelimiting for
+their specific use cases, as the library most likely has a better
+understanding of the ratelimiting and caching behaviour of their associated websites than the user has.
