hakiapi 1.0.1

A modern Python framework for building clean, typed, and extensible API clients.

HakiAPI

Build resilient Python API clients — not boilerplate.

A modern, typed, extensible framework for building production-ready API SDKs with automatic authentication, retries, pagination, and consistent error handling.

Installation • Quick Example • Features • Architecture • Roadmap

Why HakiAPI?

Every API client eventually implements the same things:

• Authentication
• Retry logic
• Pagination
• Session management
• Exception handling

HakiAPI provides these once, correctly, so you can focus on your API instead of rebuilding infrastructure.

---

Installation

pip install hakiapi

---

Quick Example

from hakiapi.clients.github import GitHubClient

github = GitHubClient()
user = github.get_user("torvalds")
print(user["login"])

Automatic pagination — no page counting, no manual while loops:

for repo in github.get_all_user_repos("torvalds"):
    print(repo["name"])

Automatic retries and errors — failures surface as typed exceptions you can actually catch:

from hakiapi.core.exceptions import RateLimitError, ServerError

try:
    user = github.get_user("torvalds")
except RateLimitError:
    print("Rate limited — back off and retry later")
except ServerError:
    print("GitHub is having issues, not your code")

No page counting. No retry handling. No authentication plumbing. Just Python.

Features

🔐 Multiple auth strategies	Bearer Token, API Key (Header), API Key (Query), HMAC
🔁 Automatic retries	Configurable backoff that preserves typed exceptions instead of swallowing failures
📄 Automatic pagination	Auto-detects GitHub-style Link headers and cursor/token APIs, iterated lazily
⚠️ Rich exception hierarchy	RateLimitError, ServerError, and more — catch exactly what you expect
🧱 Extensible BaseAPIClient	Subclass it once, inherit auth/retry/pagination for free
📦 Ready-to-use service clients	GitHub, Stripe, and Twitter included out of the box

Architecture

                GitHubClient
                TwitterClient
                StripeClient
                       │
                       ▼
                BaseAPIClient

      │              │         │          │
Authentication     Retry   Pagination  Exceptions

Each service client is a thin layer over BaseAPIClient — define your endpoints, and authentication, retries, and pagination come along automatically.
