WApi: Library to simplify api development

Libraries used:

• jsons
• requests
• aiohttp

Features

• Routes
• Serialization
• Asynchrony
• Request Params
  • Smart substitution

Installation

You can install the latest version with the command:

pip install whaox-wapi

• Routes

You can create paths as you like, splitting your api-client into modules

@Route("https://example.com")
class WApi:
    service = Service()

@Route("/wapi")
class Service:

  @Route("/path")
  @GET("/")
  def get(self): pass	

  @POST("/path")
  def post(self): pass

wapi = WApi()
wapi.service.get()
# eq
requests.get("https://example.com/wapi/path")

• Serialization

The library deserializes the received data according to the type that you specify in the _T parameter of the decorator.

NOTE: The specified type must be json serializable - these are the base types and classes marked with the @dataclass annotation

@dataclass
class Person:
  name: str

@Route("https://example.com")
class WApi:

  @GET("/person", _T=Person)
  def person(self) -> Person: pass

  @GET("/people", _T=List[Person])
  def people(self) -> List[Person]: pass

api = WApi()
person = api.person()

print(person.name)
>>> "John"

• Asynchrony

You can make the query asynchronous simply by adding an async keyword.

@Route("https://example.com")
class WApi:

  @GET("/person")
  async def person(self): pass

person = await api.person(params={"id": 1})

• Request Params

You can flexibly add parameters to request passing relevant attributes.

@dataclass
class GetPersonRequest:
  id: int
  
@dataclass
class CreatePersonRequest:
  name: str


@Route("https://example.com")
class WApi:

  @POST("/person")
  def create_person(self, body: dict): pass
	
  @Route("/person") 
  @GET("/")
  def person(self, params: GetPersonRequest | dict): pass

api.person(params={"id": 1})
api.create_person(body={"name": "john"})
# or
api.person(params=GetPersonRequest(1))
api.create_person(params=CreatePersonRequest("john"))

• • Smart substitution

The library understands what variables you used during formatting and will not substitute them into the path parameters.

@dataclass
class GetPersonRequest:
    id: int
    preview: bool

@Route("https://example.com")
class WApi:

  @Route("/person")
  @GET("/{id}")
  def person(self, params: GetPersonRequest): pass

person = api.person(params=GetPersonRequest(1, true))
# eq
person = requests.get("https://example.com/person/1?preview=true")
