# Adapter Usage

## Creating an Adapter

The standard requests means of using an adapter is to `mount()` it on a created session. This is not the only way to load the adapter, however the same interactions will be used.

    >>> import requests
    >>> import requests_mock

    >>> session = requests.Session()
    >>> adapter = requests_mock.Adapter()
    >>> session.mount('mock', adapter)

At this point any requests made by the session to a URI starting with mock:// will be sent to our adapter.
