Toolkit for creating clients of HAL based Hypermedia APIs.

Project description

halchemy for Python

HAL for humans

Do you have an API that serves data following the HAL specification? The halchemy library makes it easy for your client to make the most of that API.

Getting Started

Install halchemy using the package manager of your chosen language:

pip install halchemy

In your code, create an Api object with the URL of your API.

from halchemy import Api

api = Api('http://example.org/api')

root = api.root.get()                           # get the root resource
people = api.follow(root).to('people').get()    # follow the people rel to get the list of people

# Issue a refund of $5 to everyone
for person in people['_items']:
    account = api.follow(person).to('account').get()
    api.follow(account).to('deposit').post({'amount':5.00})
    print(f"{person['name']} has a new balance of ${account['balance']}")
