 ```
 pip install discord-webhook[async]

+python-discord-webhook supports both asyncio and [trio](https://trio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) through the use of [anyio](https://anyio.readthedocs.io/en/3.x/)

 Example usage:
 ```python
 import asyncio
-from discord_webhook import AsyncDiscordWebhook
+import os
+
+import trio
 
+import discord_webhook
 
-async def send_webhook(message):
-    webhook = AsyncDiscordWebhook(url="your webhook url", content=message)
