Make http requests to json apis
Project description
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
Notes
Works on Python 3.3+
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
