Polars extension for dealing with REST APIs

• Github repository: https://github.com/diegoglozano/polars-api/
• Documentation https://diegoglozano.github.io/polars-api/

Installation

uv add polars-api

poetry add polars-api

pip install polars-api

Usage

Just import the library as import polars_api and the new api namespace will be available.

In the following example:

• We set a base URL using jsonplaceholder as a fake REST API
• For each row, we generate a different body using a struct type
• Finally, we call different methods for getting the data:
  • .api.get(): sync GET
  • .api.aget(): async GET
  • .api.post(): sync POST
  • .api.apost(): async POST

These methods will return the result as a string, but with polars you can convert it easily in a struct and access its values using .str.json_decode() method.

import polars as pl
import polars_api


BASE_URL = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
df = (
    pl
    .DataFrame({
        "url": [BASE_URL for _ in range(10)],
    })
    .with_columns(
        pl
        .struct(
            title=pl.lit("foo"),
            body=pl.lit("bar"),
            userId=pl.arange(10),
        )
        .alias("body"),
    )
    .with_columns(
        pl
        .col("url")
        .api.get()
        .str.json_decode()
        .alias("get"),
        pl
        .col("url")
        .api.aget()
        .str.json_decode()
        .alias("aget"),
        pl
        .col("url")
        .api.post(body=pl.col("body"))
        .str.json_decode()
        .alias("post"),
        pl
        .col("url")
        .api.apost(body=pl.col("body"))
        .str.json_decode()
        .alias("apost"),
    )
)
