swissmilo 0.7.0

The official Python library for the milo-jan-22 API

Milo Python API demo library

The Milo Jan 22 Python library provides convenient access to the Milo Jan 22 REST API from any Python 3.7+ application. The library includes type definitions for all request params and response fields, and offers both synchronous and asynchronous clients powered by httpx.

Documentation

The REST API documentation can be found on docs.milo-jan-22.com. The full API of this library can be found in api.md.

Installation

pip install swissmilo

Usage

The full API of this library can be found in api.md.

from milo_jan_22 import MiloJan22

client = MiloJan22()

pet = client.pets.retrievewithmenot(
    "REPLACE_ME",
)
print(pet.id)

Async usage

Simply import AsyncMiloJan22 instead of MiloJan22 and use await with each API call:

import asyncio
from milo_jan_22 import AsyncMiloJan22

client = AsyncMiloJan22()


async def main() -> None:
    pet = await client.pets.retrievewithmenot(
        "REPLACE_ME",
    )
    print(pet.id)


asyncio.run(main())

Functionality between the synchronous and asynchronous clients is otherwise identical.

Using types

Nested request parameters are TypedDicts. Responses are Pydantic models, which provide helper methods for things like:

• Serializing back into JSON, model.model_dump_json(indent=2, exclude_unset=True)
• Converting to a dictionary, model.model_dump(exclude_unset=True)

Typed requests and responses provide autocomplete and documentation within your editor. If you would like to see type errors in VS Code to help catch bugs earlier, set python.analysis.typeCheckingMode to basic.

Handling errors

When the library is unable to connect to the API (for example, due to network connection problems or a timeout), a subclass of milo_jan_22.APIConnectionError is raised.

When the API returns a non-success status code (that is, 4xx or 5xx response), a subclass of milo_jan_22.APIStatusError is raised, containing status_code and response properties.

All errors inherit from milo_jan_22.APIError.

import milo_jan_22
from milo_jan_22 import MiloJan22

client = MiloJan22()

try:
    client.pets.retrievewithmeagainnot(
        "REPLACE_ME",
    )
except milo_jan_22.APIConnectionError as e:
    print("The server could not be reached")
    print(e.__cause__)  # an underlying Exception, likely raised within httpx.
except milo_jan_22.RateLimitError as e:
    print("A 429 status code was received; we should back off a bit.")
except milo_jan_22.APIStatusError as e:
    print("Another non-200-range status code was received")
    print(e.status_code)
    print(e.response)

Error codes are as followed:

Status Code	Error Type
400	BadRequestError
401	AuthenticationError
403	PermissionDeniedError
404	NotFoundError
422	UnprocessableEntityError
429	RateLimitError
>=500	InternalServerError
N/A	APIConnectionError

Retries

Certain errors are automatically retried 2 times by default, with a short exponential backoff. Connection errors (for example, due to a network connectivity problem), 408 Request Timeout, 409 Conflict, 429 Rate Limit, and >=500 Internal errors are all retried by default.

You can use the max_retries option to configure or disable retry settings:

from milo_jan_22 import MiloJan22

# Configure the default for all requests:
client = MiloJan22(
    # default is 2
    max_retries=0,
)

# Or, configure per-request:
client.with_options(max_retries=5).pets.retrievewithmeagainnot(
    "REPLACE_ME",
)

Timeouts

By default requests time out after 1 minute. You can configure this with a timeout option, which accepts a float or an httpx.Timeout object:

from milo_jan_22 import MiloJan22

# Configure the default for all requests:
client = MiloJan22(
    # 20 seconds (default is 1 minute)
    timeout=20.0,
)

# More granular control:
client = MiloJan22(
    timeout=httpx.Timeout(60.0, read=5.0, write=10.0, connect=2.0),
)

# Override per-request:
client.with_options(timeout=5 * 1000).pets.retrievewithmeagainnot(
    "REPLACE_ME",
)

On timeout, an APITimeoutError is thrown.

Note that requests that time out are retried twice by default.

Advanced

Logging

We use the standard library logging module.

You can enable logging by setting the environment variable MILO_JAN_22_LOG to debug.

$ export MILO_JAN_22_LOG=debug

How to tell whether None means null or missing

In an API response, a field may be explicitly null, or missing entirely; in either case, its value is None in this library. You can differentiate the two cases with .model_fields_set:

if response.my_field is None:
  if 'my_field' not in response.model_fields_set:
    print('Got json like {}, without a "my_field" key present at all.')
  else:
    print('Got json like {"my_field": null}.')

Accessing raw response data (e.g. headers)

The "raw" Response object can be accessed by prefixing .with_raw_response. to any HTTP method call, e.g.,

from milo_jan_22 import MiloJan22

client = MiloJan22()
response = client.pets.with_raw_response.retrievewithmeagainnot(
    "REPLACE_ME",
)
print(response.headers.get('X-My-Header'))

pet = response.parse()  # get the object that `pets.retrievewithmeagainnot()` would have returned
print(pet.id)

These methods return an APIResponse object.

The async client returns an AsyncAPIResponse with the same structure, the only difference being awaitable methods for reading the response content.

.with_streaming_response

The above interface eagerly reads the full response body when you make the request, which may not always be what you want.

To stream the response body, use .with_streaming_response instead, which requires a context manager and only reads the response body once you call .read(), .text(), .json(), .iter_bytes(), .iter_text(), .iter_lines() or .parse(). In the async client, these are async methods.

with client.pets.with_streaming_response.retrievewithmeagainnot(
    "REPLACE_ME",
) as response:
    print(response.headers.get("X-My-Header"))

    for line in response.iter_lines():
        print(line)

The context manager is required so that the response will reliably be closed.

Configuring the HTTP client

You can directly override the httpx client to customize it for your use case, including:

• Support for proxies
• Custom transports
• Additional advanced functionality

import httpx
from milo_jan_22 import MiloJan22

client = MiloJan22(
    # Or use the `MILO_JAN_22_BASE_URL` env var
    base_url="http://my.test.server.example.com:8083",
    http_client=httpx.Client(
        proxies="http://my.test.proxy.example.com",
        transport=httpx.HTTPTransport(local_address="0.0.0.0"),
    ),
)

Managing HTTP resources

By default the library closes underlying HTTP connections whenever the client is garbage collected. You can manually close the client using the .close() method if desired, or with a context manager that closes when exiting.

Versioning

This package generally follows SemVer conventions, though certain backwards-incompatible changes may be released as minor versions:

1. Changes that only affect static types, without breaking runtime behavior.
2. Changes to library internals which are technically public but not intended or documented for external use. (Please open a GitHub issue to let us know if you are relying on such internals).
3. Changes that we do not expect to impact the vast majority of users in practice.

We take backwards-compatibility seriously and work hard to ensure you can rely on a smooth upgrade experience.

We are keen for your feedback; please open an issue with questions, bugs, or suggestions.

Requirements

Python 3.7 or higher.
