apiwrapper 0.1.3

Simple API Wrapper

Simple API Wrapper

• Free software: BSD license

• Documentation: https://apiwrapper.readthedocs.org.

Overview

Recently noticed a pattern and repeated pieces of code in Python API wrappers that I’ve worked on. A separate Python package will minimize code duplication and encourage de-coupling of logic from the API request functions.

Features

• Simple and straightforward.

• Can be used as a parent class or as a helper class.

Installation

At the command line:

$ easy_install apiwrapper

Or, if you have virtualenvwrapper installed:

$ mkvirtualenv apiwrapper
$ pip install apiwrapper

Getting started

# as a helper class from apiwrapper import APIWrapper

my_api = APIWrapper() url = ‘https://api.github.com/users/ardydedase/repos’ resp = my_api.make_request(url=url) print(resp)

# as a parent class from apiwrapper import APIWrapper

class GithubAPI(APIWrapper):

def get_repos(self, username):

“”” Uses make_request method “”” url = “https://api.github.com/users/{username}/repos”.format(username=username) return self.make_request(url, method=’get’, headers=None, data=None, callback=None)
