DEPRECATED

Please use apitist package

python-apitist

Brand new way to test your API

Installation

Run the following command in your command line::

pip install python-apitist

Default hooks

• RequestDebugLoggingHook
• RequestInfoLoggingHook
• PrepRequestDebugLoggingHook
• PrepRequestInfoLoggingHook
• ResponseDebugLoggingHook
• ResponseInfoLoggingHook

Example usage

from apitist.hooks import PrepRequestInfoLoggingHook, ResponseInfoLoggingHook
from apitist.requests import session


s = session()
PrepRequestInfoLoggingHook.formatter = "Best formatter {req.method} {req.url}"

s.add_prep_request_hook(PrepRequestInfoLoggingHook)
s.add_response_hook(ResponseInfoLoggingHook)

s.post("https://httpbin.org/post", params={"q": "test"})

Custom Hooks

from requests import Request, PreparedRequest, Response

from apitist.requests import session, RequestHook, PreparedRequestHook, ResponseHook

s = session()

class ReqHook(RequestHook):

    def run(self, request: Request) -> Request:
        print(request.url)
        return request

class PrepReqHook(PreparedRequestHook):

    def run(self, request: PreparedRequest) -> PreparedRequest:
        print(request.url)
        return request


class RespHook(ResponseHook):

    def run(self, response: Response) -> Response:
        print(response.url)
        return response

s.add_request_hook(ReqHook)
s.add_prep_request_hook(PrepReqHook)
s.add_response_hook(RespHook)

s.get("https://ya.ru", params={"q": "test"})

Working with constructor

import attr
import typing

from apitist.constructor import converter
from apitist.hooks import RequestConverterHook, ResponseConverterHook
from apitist.requests import session


class ExampleType:
    test = None

@attr.s
class ExampleStructure:
    test: ExampleType = attr.ib()

@attr.s
class TestResponse:
    args: typing.Dict = attr.ib()
    data: str = attr.ib()
    files: typing.Dict = attr.ib()
    form: typing.Dict = attr.ib()
    headers: typing.Dict = attr.ib()
    json: ExampleStructure = attr.ib()
    origin: str = attr.ib()
    url: str = attr.ib()

s = session()
s.add_hook(RequestConverterHook)
s.add_hook(ResponseConverterHook)

def structure_example_type(data, type_):
    example = ExampleType()
    example.test = data
    return example

def unstructure_example_type(data):
    return data.test

converter.register_hooks(
    ExampleType, structure_example_type, unstructure_example_type
)

t = ExampleType()
t.test = "test"

struc = ExampleStructure(t)

res = s.post("https://httpbin.org/post", data=struc).structure(TestResponse)
print(res.structured.json.test.test) # test

Using random data generator

First of all create an instance of random class:

from apitist.random import Randomer
rand = Randomer()

Now, you can add custom hooks for different types:

rand.add_type(str, lambda: str(random.random()))
rand.add_type(float, lambda: random.random())

Or using add_types:

types = {
    str: lambda: str(random.random()),
    float: lambda: random.random()
}
rand.add_types(types)

Now you can create random object for given type or any attrs class with defined types:

import attr
import typing

rand.object(str) # '0.6147789314561384'
rand.object(float) # 0.4664297665239271

@attr.s
class Data:
    value1: str = attr.ib()
    value2: typing.List[str] = attr.ib()
    value3: typing.Tuple[float] = attr.ib()

print(rand.object(Data))
# Data(
#   value1='0.491058956716827',
#   value2=['0.6568036485871975'],
#   value3=(0.8603579349502298,)
# )

It is better to use it with Faker. Just define different subclasses for str and add different hooks for them. By this you could create different data for different str fields.

Also, using with RequestConverterHook and ResponseConverterHook you could easily create random json objects which would be send to server.
