API Client Framework

The framework for building well structured API client libraries in Python.

Minimal API client implementation

The simplest implementation of the API client based on ACF could look like this:

from acf.actions.http import HttpAction
from acf.clients.base import BaseClient
from acf.resources.base import BaseResource


class SendAnythingAction(HttpAction):

    METHOD = 'POST'
    URL_PATH_TEMPLATE = 'https://httpbin.org/anything'
    RESULT_KEY = 'json'


class AnythingResource(BaseResource):

    ACTIONS = {
        'send': SendAnythingAction
    }


class HttpbinClient(BaseClient):

    RESOURCES = {
        'anything': AnythingResource
    }

Example of the minimal API client usage

You can evaluate the code above or just execute the following line for importing the Httpbin client.

from acf_example.httpbin_client import HttpbinClient

After that you'll be able to send any test data!

>>> client = HttpbinClient()
>>> api_result = client.anything.send(foo='bar')
>>> api_result.is_successful
True

>>> api_result.response
<Response [200]>

>>> api_result.result
{'foo': 'bar'}
