Andrea Galbusera 54cbf59aae Update package metadata adding "Repository" to project urls (#3119)
Add "Repository" label to project urls pointing to the
opentelemetry-python repo root url.

Having within project urls one entry with the same value for all
packages released by the project will help tools for automatic
dependency management to suggest coherent upgrades for related packages.

OpenTelemetry Requests Instrumentation
======================================

|pypi|

.. |pypi| image:: https://badge.fury.io/py/opentelemetry-instrumentation-requests.svg
   :target: https://pypi.org/project/opentelemetry-instrumentation-requests/

This library allows tracing HTTP requests made by the
`requests <https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/>`_ library.

Installation
------------

::

     pip install opentelemetry-instrumentation-requests

Configuration
-------------

Exclude lists
*************
To exclude certain URLs from being tracked, set the environment variable ``OTEL_PYTHON_REQUESTS_EXCLUDED_URLS``
(or ``OTEL_PYTHON_EXCLUDED_URLS`` as fallback) with comma delimited regexes representing which URLs to exclude.

For example,

::

    export OTEL_PYTHON_REQUESTS_EXCLUDED_URLS="client/.*/info,healthcheck"

will exclude requests such as ``https://site/client/123/info`` and ``https://site/xyz/healthcheck``.
