Requests based HTTP/REST API client with flexible cache support

Project description

Portale is minimalistic requests based HTTP/REST API client.

Advantage over other libraries: Allows different cache timeout policy for each API

Simple example

from portale import PrefixedURLSession

session = PrefixedURLSession('https://httpbin.org/')

get_thing = session.GETRequest('anything?thing={0}', timeout=10)
thing = get_thing('snake')

get_thing_by_name = session.GETRequest('anything?thing={name}', timeout=10)
thing = get_thing_by_name(name='snake')

long_request = session.GETJSONRequest('delay/{n}', timeout=20)
result = long_request(n=2)
result = long_request(n=2)  # cached response

post_req = session.POSTJSONRequest('anything/{category}/')
pathargs = ()
pathkw = {'category': 'products'}
payload = {'id': 101, 'title': 'Journal'}
resp = post_req(json=payload)
from portale import PrefixedURLSession

session = PrefixedURLSession('https://cms.example/')

list_articles = session.GETJSONRequest('articles/')
new_article = session.POSTJSONRequest('articles/')
get_article = session.GETJSONRequest('articles/{0}')
update_article = session.PATCHJSONRequest('articles/{0}')
delete_article = session.DELETEJSONRequest('articles/{0}')

list_articles()
new_article(title='Best story ever', tags=['stories', 'fiction'])
get_article(101)
update_article(101, title='The Best story ever')
delete_article(101)

Cache

timeout if not specified in Request initialization, session’s timeout is used as default timeout for all the APIs using same session.

from portale import PrefixedURLSession

session = PrefixedURLSession('https://httpbin.org/', timeout=10)
get_thing = session.GETRequest('anything?thing={0}')
long_request = session.GETJSONRequest('delay/{n}')

Busting cache

long_request.cache.bust(n=n)

Access cache metrics

print(long_request.cache.metrics)

Tests
