Hello, the request version was historically pinned to allow retro-compatibility with python 3.7. We'll loosen it to >= 2.31.0 in the next release (1.14.1). See #276

That said, 4.13.0 did have such a pin: https://github.com/mindee/mindee-api-python/blob/6237dc5cb9319240549c472c746a2022b50c0bf1/setup.cfg#L38. The only change has been that it moved to the pyproject.toml file.
