A simple HTTP client wrapper for requests
Project description
netpy
netpy is a lightweight and easy-to-use HTTP client wrapper built on top of the popular requests library. It simplifies making HTTP requests with support for session management, headers, cookies, and both Basic and Bearer authentication.
Features
- Supports GET, POST, PUT, DELETE HTTP methods.
- Manage common headers and cookies automatically.
- Handles Bearer and Basic Authentication easily.
- Supports a base URL to simplify request endpoints.
- Tracks cookies from server responses and allows easy access.
- Includes context manager support for automatic resource cleanup.
- Detailed logging for request lifecycle (can be adjusted).
Installation
You can install netpy via pip (once published on PyPI):
pip install netpy
Or install it locally by cloning the repository and running:
pip install .
Make sure you have Python 3.7 or above and the requests library installed.
Usage
Here is a quick example of how to use the HttpClient class from netpy:
from netpy import HttpClient
# Initialize the client with a base URL
client = HttpClient(base_url="https://api.example.com/")
# Set a custom User-Agent header
client.set_user_agent("netpy-client/1.0")
# Set Basic Authentication credentials
client.set_auth(("username", "password"))
# Or set Bearer token authentication
# client.set_auth_bearer("your_bearer_token")
# Make a GET request to a relative endpoint
response = client.get("/data/items", params={"limit": 10})
if response:
print("Status code:", response.status_code)
print("Response JSON:", response.json())
# Access current cookies stored in the session
cookies = client.get_cookies()
print("Cookies:", cookies)
# Always close the session when done
client.close_session()
