Project description

Downloads

papir

Papir is an acronym for “Python API Requests”.

The main purpose is to make custom http requests to json APIs, prettify and colorize the full response (headers + json content).

Json files are used to post, put, patch or delete and to customize the http headers.

Basic http authentication and gzip compression are supported.

Simple example:

$ papir httpbin.org/get

  • Uses only Python standard library for maximum compatibility

  • Small and simple source code that can be read in a few minutes

Usage

Usage: papir url [options] [method]

make http requests to json apis

Options:
--version        show program's version number and exit
-d DATA_FILE     json file to post, put, patch or delete
-h HEADERS_FILE  json file containing additional headers
-t TIMEOUT       timeout in seconds to wait for response (default: 10)
-a AUTH          basic http authentication in the format username:password
-f, --follow     follow redirects (default: disabled)
-v, --verbose    show request headers (default: disabled)

Examples

Assuming the file “data.json” exists containing:

{
    "name": "Bob",
    "age": 30
}

Make a post request using that data:

$ papir example.org -d data.json

To use a different http method just inform it:

$ papir example.org -d data.json put

To customize the request headers, create a json file like:

{
    "Auth-User": "user",
    "Auth-Token": "1234",
    "User-Agent": "myagent"
}

And add it to the request:

$ papir example.org -h headers.json

Obviously, you can mix it with all kinds of http methods:

$ papir example.org -h headers.json -d data.json patch

Simple basic auth:

$ papir example.org -a user:pass
