Project description
httpxfetch
httpxfetch
is a Python wrapper for the JavaScript fetch
function, designed to streamline the process of reverse engineering APIs. The primary goal of this project is to simplify testing and data inspection by allowing users to copy the fetch
requests generated by browser developer tools, paste them into their Python code, and execute them seamlessly.
Installation
You can install httpxfetch
using pip:
pip install httpxfetch
Quick Start
from httpxfetch import fetch
# Example: Making a GET request
response = fetch('https://api.example.com/data')
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())
Features
-
Simplified Testing: Copy and paste
fetch
requests from browser developer tools into your Python code for easy testing and data exploration. -
Wrapper for HTTPX: Utilizes the powerful
httpx
library to perform HTTP requests in Python. -
JSON Handling: Automatically converts the request body to a JSON string using the
JSON.stringify
equivalent function.
Usage
from fetch_to_httpx import fetch, JSON
# Example: Making a POST request with JSON payload
url = 'https://api.example.com/data'
options = {
'method': 'post',
'headers': {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
'body': JSON.stringify({'key': 'value'}),
}
response = fetch(url, options)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())
Return Type
The fetch
function returns an instance of the httpx.Response
class. All methods available in the httpx.Response
class can be applied to the result of the fetch
function.
Disclaimer
The project intentionally includes some redundant steps, such as converting the fetch
body to a string before loading it as a dictionary. This is done to minimize the effort required, providing a convenient function to simulate JSON.stringify
for ease of use.
