apibean-notebook 0.1.1a1

Notebook-first utilities for executing APIs, managing sessions, and rendering rich outputs inside Jupyter kernels.

apibean-notebook

📘 apibean-notebook is a lightweight, notebook-first library that provides utilities for executing APIs, managing client sessions, and rendering rich, interactive outputs directly inside Jupyter notebooks.

It is designed to be imported and used inside notebook cells, focusing on developer experience, exploration, and observability — without requiring any Jupyter server extensions or infrastructure setup.

✨ Key Features

• In-kernel API execution

  • Run API calls and commands directly from notebook cells
  • Reuse authenticated client sessions and contexts

• Rich notebook outputs

  • Display structured data, tables, logs, and status messages
  • Built on top of IPython.display and Jupyter’s rich output system

• Session-aware helpers

  • Manage API clients, tokens, and default settings across cells
  • Designed to work naturally with iterative notebook workflows

• No server-side dependencies

  • Does not require Jupyter server extensions
  • Fully compatible with JupyterLab, VS Code Notebooks, and cloud notebooks

🎯 Design Principles

• Notebook-first, not server-first
• Explicit execution, no hidden side effects
• Rich output over raw logs
• Minimal dependencies and fast import time

🔒 Scope and Non-Goals

apibean-notebook intentionally does not:

• Manage Jupyter servers or kernels
• Start background services
• Perform infrastructure orchestration

These concerns are handled by other packages in the apibean ecosystem.
