<h2>web3.py v7.4.0 (2024-10-16)</h2>

<p>Bugfixes</p>

<pre><code>

Fix a bug where CCIP-Read expected a {sender} in the url for a POST request. If {data} is missing from the url, assume a POST request is being made regardless of whether {sender} is present. ([#3291](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3291) &amp;lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3291&amp;gt;__)
Fix a bug where non-mainnet chains could not cache requests based on missing finalized block number. ([#3508](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3508) &amp;lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3508&amp;gt;__)
Send json, not data with CCIP-Read POST requests. ([#3512](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3512) &amp;lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3512&amp;gt;__)

Improved Documentation

</code></pre>

<ul>

<li>Update the request caching documentation to clarify on when to reach for request caching and how to configure the request validation threshold for certain endpoints. (<code>#3508 &lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3508&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;__)&lt;/li>

</ul>

<p>Features</p>

<pre><code>

Allow a time interval, in seconds, to be used as the request_cache_validation_threshold for request caching. Keep a list of internal default values based on the chain id for some of the bigger chains. ([#3508](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3508) &amp;lt;https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py/issues/3508&amp;gt;__)
