# Tiny API Client 🐝

[![License: GPL v2][license-shield]][gnu]

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

```python
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=...)
```

## Features

- Instance-scoped `requests.Session()` with connection pooling and
cookie preservation
- JSON is king, but XML and raw responses are fine too
- Endpoints can use GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
- Route parameters are optional
- Easy integration with your custom API classes
- Declare endpoints under different API versions
- Can define the API URL at runtime if not available before
- Can set a custom CookieJar to pass with all requests
- Pass along any parameters you would usually pass to requests
- Custom JSON status error handling
- Installable [pytest plugin][pytest-plugin] for easy testing
- Excellent support for type checking thanks to a built-in mypy plugin

## Installation

```bash
pip install tiny-api-client
