nimrodel 0.2.0

Bottle.py wrapper to make python objects accessible via HTTP API

Nimrodel

A simple Bottle.py-wrapper to provide HTTP API access to any python object.

Requirements

• python3 - GitHub
• bottle.py - GitHub
• waitress - GitHub
• doreah - GitHub (at least Version 0.8.2)

Quick Start

Install with

pip install nimrodel

Create your API with

from nimrodel import API

myapi = API()

You can pass a port number with port=42, a path with path="api" and whether you want to serve on IPv4 (IPv6=False). You can also give the API object an existing bottle server (server=bottleobject), in which case your API will be served on the existing server. In this case, it is heavily recommended to pass a path variable to separate API from regular routing of your server.

Then make any class accessible with a decorator.

@myapi.apiclass("group")
class Group:

	def __init__(self,name,apipath,songs):
		# some stuff
		self.__apiname__ = apipath

Any instance of that class is now accessible via the combination of class path and its individual path. Now just decorate the methods. All its arguments can be passed via URI query arguments.

	@myapi.get("songs")
	def get_songs(self,member):
		return {"songs":[s["title"] for s in self.songs if member in s["performers"]]}

Now create an object and make sure it has an __apiname__ attribute:

e = Group("Exid","exid",exidsongs)

Then you can access its methods with simple HTTP calls:

HTTP GET http://localhost:1337/group/exid/songs?member=Junghwa
