apico 1.0.1

Tool for monitoring changes in RESTful APIs quickly and easily

apico

The easy way to monitor changes in RESTful APIs.

Installation

$ pip install apico

Example usage

from apico import Monitor, Response


monitor = Monitor(url='https://api.github.com/users/itsmewulf', rate=10.0, headers={'Authorization': 'GITHUB_TOKEN'})

@monitor.listener()
def on_change(old, new):
    print('Something changed!')

@monitor.listener('no_change')
def nothing_changed():
    print('Nothing changed!')

@monitor.listener()
def on_request():
    print('This is called before every request.')

Some reference

Events

The events supported by the Monitor.listener decorator are:

• change
• request
• no_change

As you can see in the example, listeners can be registered by passing the event name straight to the decorator (monitor.listener('change')) or inferred from the function name starting with on_:

@monitor.listener()
def on_change(...):

Returns

The responses returned by apico are actually instances of requests.Response

Rate

The rate at which the Monitor sends requests is controlled via the rate parameter, which is either an integer, or a float - 33 is a request every 33 seconds, 0.5 is 2 requests every second.
