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:

mindee-api-python/setup.cfg

Line 38 in 6237dc5

requests~=2.31

. The only change has been that it moved to the pyproject.toml file.
