Abstractions for create REST API client

Gefest Simple REST Client

Description

Gefest Simple REST Client is a library designed to simplify the creation of REST API clients in Python. Built on httpx, it provides both synchronous and asynchronous API interaction.

Features

• 🛠️ Abstraction of clients and endpoints
• ⚙️ Support for both synchronous (httpx.Client) and asynchronous (httpx.AsyncClient) request models
• ✅ Dynamic access to endpoints
• ✨ URL templates for handling path parameters

Installation

pip install gefest_simple_rest_client

Usage Example

from gefest_simple_rest_client.client import BaseClient
from gefest_simple_rest_client.endpoint import BaseEndpoint, PathTemplate

class MyEndpoint(BaseEndpoint):
    name = "example"
    path_template = PathTemplate("/example/{id:int}")

class MyClient(BaseClient):
    base_url = "https://api.example.com"
    headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"}
    endpoints = [MyEndpoint]

client = MyClient()

Synchronous Usage

response = client.example.get(path_params={"id": 123})
print(response.json())

Asynchronous Usage

import asyncio

async def fetch():
    async with MyClient() as client:
        response = await client.example.get_async(path_params={"id": 123})
        print(response.json())

asyncio.run(fetch())

Errors when Passing Invalid Path Parameters

If incorrect parameters are provided, exceptions are raised:

try:
    response = client.example.get(path_params={"id": "invalid_string"})
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

Example error:

PathParamsValidationError: Parameter 'id' must be of type int
