| Build client for Web APIs from pydoc. Inspired by `Uplink <https://github.com/prkumar/uplink>`_.

Overview
========
| Doclink turns a Python function into HTTP API by writting pydoc to declare the api meta.
| It is based on Requests and uses YAML with predefined schema as api declaration.
| When calling the function, response from HTTP API will be passed in as a parameter for futher handling.

Features
========
* create python function as HTTP API with **pydoc**
* **YAML** based schema for api declaration
* handle api response in the **same** function
* response hook as **middleware**
* **all** args for Requests supported
* select base_uri dynamicly from simple **router**

Quick through, with httpbin
=====
Create a consumer instance.

.. code-block:: python

from doclink import Consumer

consumer = Consumer('http://httpbin.org/')

Add response hook(middleware).

.. code-block:: python

@consumer.resp_hook
def json_hook(resp):
resp.json = resp.json()

Add function for api declaration.

.. code-block:: python

@consumer.get('get')
def get(resp):
"""
<meta>
args:
query:
- arg1: arg1
- arg2: arg2
</meta>
"""
return resp.json['args']

Use you api.

.. code-block:: python

>>> get()
{
"arg1": "arg1",
"arg2": "arg2"
}
