python-requests-client

A simple, flexible Python HTTP client and API modeling toolkit built on top of httpx and pydantic. Easily integrate robust API requests and resource models into your Python projects.

---

🚀 Features

• Model-driven: Define and interact with API resources as Python classes.
• Easy HTTP Requests: Simple RequestClient for GET, POST, PUT, DELETE with automatic header and base URL management.
• Pydantic API Models: Define resource models with CRUD helpers (save, delete, load, find).
• Global Client Setup: Set a global API client for all models with set_client().
• Type Safety: All models use Pydantic for validation and serialization.
• Extensible: Easily create new models for any RESTful resource.

📦 Installation

pip install python-requests-client

🔧 Usage

1. Define Your Models

from pyrest_model_client.base import BaseAPIModel
from typing import ClassVar


class User(BaseAPIModel):
  name: str
  email: str
  _resource_path: ClassVar[str] = "user"


class Environment(BaseAPIModel):
  name: str
  _resource_path: ClassVar[str] = "environment"

2. Initialize the Client

from pyrest_model_client import RequestClient, build_header, set_client
from example_usage.models.user import User
from example_usage.models.environment import Environment

set_client(
  new_client=RequestClient(
    base_url="http://localhost:8000",
    header=build_header(token="YOUR_API_TOKEN")
  )
)

# Create and save a new user
e = User(name="Alice", email="[e-mail]")
e.save()

# Update and save
e.name = "Alice Smith"
e.save()

# Find all environments
environments = Environment.find()
print(environments)

# Load a specific user by ID
user = User.load(resource_id="123")

# Delete a user
user.delete()
