tiny-api-client 1.4.0

The short and sweet way to create an API client

Tiny API Client 🐝

Write JSON API Clients in Python without the fluff, pumped full of syntactic sugar

from tiny_api_client import api_client, get, post, delete

@api_client('https://example.org/api/public/v{version}')
class MyAPIClient:
	@get('/users/{user_id}')
	def find_user(self, response):
		return response

	@post('/notes')
	def create_note(self, response):
		return response

	@delete('/notes/{note_id}/attachment/{attachment_id}', version=3)
	def delete_note_attachment(self, response):
		return response

>>> client = MyClient()
>>> client.find_user(user_id='PeterParker')
{'name': 'Peter', 'surname': 'Parker', ...}
>>> client.create_note(data={'title': 'New Note', 'content': 'Hello World!'})
{'id': ...}
>>> client.delete_note_attachment(node_id=...)
