nhl-api-client 1.0.6

A client library for accessing NHL API

nhl-api-client

A client library for accessing NHL API

Usage

First, create a client:

from nhl_api_client import Client

client = Client(base_url="http://api-web.nhle.com")

Now call your endpoint and use your models:

from nhl_api_client.api.default import get_season_standings_by_date
from nhl_api_client.models import SeasonStandings
from nhl_api_client.types import Response

with client as client:
    teams_response: SeasonStandings = get_season_standings_by_date.sync('2023-11-15', client=client)
    # or if you need more info (e.g. status_code)
    response: Response[SeasonStandings] = get_season_standings_by_date.sync_detailed('2023-11-15', client=client)

Or do the same thing with an async version:

from nhl_api_client.models import SeasonStandings
from nhl_api_client.api.my_tag import get_season_standings_by_date
from nhl_api_client.types import Response

async with client as client:
    my_data: SeasonStandings = await get_season_standings_by_date.asyncio('2023-11-15', client=client)
    response: Response[SeasonStandings] = await get_season_standings_by_date.asyncio_detailed('2023-11-15', client=client)

Things to know:

1. Every path/method combo becomes a Python module with four functions:

   1. sync: Blocking request that returns parsed data (if successful) or None
   2. sync_detailed: Blocking request that always returns a Request, optionally with parsed set if the request was successful.
   3. asyncio: Like sync but async instead of blocking
   4. asyncio_detailed: Like sync_detailed but async instead of blocking

2. All path/query params, and bodies become method arguments.

3. If your endpoint had any tags on it, the first tag will be used as a module name for the function (my_tag above)

4. Any endpoint which did not have a tag will be in nhl_api_client.api.default

Advanced customizations

There are more settings on the generated Client class which let you control more runtime behavior, check out the docstring on that class for more info. You can also customize the underlying httpx.Client or httpx.AsyncClient (depending on your use-case):

from nhl_api_client import Client

def log_request(request):
    print(f"Request event hook: {request.method} {request.url} - Waiting for response")

def log_response(response):
    request = response.request
    print(f"Response event hook: {request.method} {request.url} - Status {response.status_code}")

client = Client(
    base_url="http://api-web.nhle.com",
    httpx_args={"event_hooks": {"request": [log_request], "response": [log_response]}},
)

# Or get the underlying httpx client to modify directly with client.get_httpx_client() or client.get_async_httpx_client()

You can even set the httpx client directly, but beware that this will override any existing settings (e.g., base_url):

import httpx
from nhl_api_client import Client

client = Client(
    base_url="http://api-web.nhle.com",
)
# Note that base_url needs to be re-set, as would any shared cookies, headers, etc.
client.set_httpx_client(httpx.Client(base_url="http://api-web.nhle.com", proxies="http://localhost:8030"))

Building / publishing this package

This project uses Poetry to manage dependencies and packaging. Here are the basics:

1. Update the metadata in pyproject.toml (e.g. authors, version)
2. If you're using a private repository, configure it with Poetry
   1. poetry config repositories.<your-repository-name> <url-to-your-repository>
   2. poetry config http-basic.<your-repository-name> <username> <password>
3. Publish the client with poetry publish --build -r <your-repository-name> or, if for public PyPI, just poetry publish --build

If you want to install this client into another project without publishing it (e.g. for development) then:

1. If that project is using Poetry, you can simply do poetry add <path-to-this-client> from that project
2. If that project is not using Poetry:
   1. Build a wheel with poetry build -f wheel
   2. Install that wheel from the other project pip install <path-to-wheel>
