UriPoint

UriPoint is a flexible Python library for creating, managing, and interacting with network endpoints across multiple protocols. It provides a unified interface for handling various communication protocols, including streaming protocols (RTSP, HLS, DASH) and IoT protocols (MQTT).

Persistent Endpoint Management

UriPoint provides a robust CLI for creating and managing endpoints that persist across sessions.

How It Works

Configuration Storage
- Endpoints are stored in ~/.uripoint_config.yaml
- Automatically saves and loads endpoint configurations
- Maintains state between CLI sessions
Endpoint Creation
- Supports multiple creation methods
- Prevents duplicate endpoint registration
- Stores endpoint details with associated metadata
- Configurable HTTP methods
Live Server
- Built-in HTTP server for serving endpoints
- Multi-port support
- Protocol-specific handlers
- HTTP method validation
- CORS support

Endpoint Creation Methods

Full URI Approach with HTTP Methods

# Create an endpoint with full URI and specific HTTP methods
uripoint --uri http://localhost:8080/api/users --data '{"response": {"status": "OK"}}' --method GET POST PUT

Component-Based Approach

# Create an endpoint using individual components
uripoint --hostname localhost --path /api/status --protocol http --port 8001 --data '{"status": "OK"}' --method GET

Endpoint Management

# List all configured endpoints
uripoint --list

# Serve all endpoints as a live server
uripoint --serve

# Test endpoints
uripoint --test

# Detach specific endpoints
uripoint --detach "http://localhost:9000/api/hello" "http://localhost:9001/metrics"

# Detach all endpoints
uripoint --detach
