httpcats

Getting URLs to your favourite HTTP Cats made easy!

Installation

Installing httpcats is easy, just run pip install httpcats!

Usage

I've developed httpcats to make using HTTP Cats simple and fun.

Currently, you can get your cats using one of two functions - cat_by_name and cat_by_code

cat_by_name(name: str) takes in a sole parameter - name, which is the status code name to get a cat for. Upon finding a cat matching the name, it returns an HTTPCat object. Here's an example -

from httpcats import cat_by_name

my_cat = cat_by_name("Success")

print(f"My cat has a code of {my_cat.code} and means {my_cat.name}! The URL is {my_cat.url}")
# Prints - 
# My cat has a code of 200 and means Success! The URL is https://http.cat/200

cat_by_code(code: int) is extremely similar to cat_by_name, just using a status code value. Upon finding a cat matching the code, it returns an HTTPCat object. Here's an example -

from httpcats import cat_by_code

my_cat = cat_by_code(404)

print(f"My cat has a code of {my_cat.code} and means {my_cat.name} :( The URL is {my_cat.url}")
# Prints - 
# My cat has a code of 404 and means Not Found :( The URL is https://http.cat/404

The HTTPCat object also has an image attribute

You can use this attribute to get the image bytes associated with the cat. You can then save it or view it, like in the example below -

from httpcats import cat_by_code
from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO

my_cat = cat_by_code(302)

cat_image = Image.open(BytesIO(my_cat.image))
cat_image.show()
