Example in folder tests.

The first you can configure http or https client

import logging

from rest_api_client import HttpClient
from .testapis import TestAPIs

logger = logging.getLogger('http_logger')

class TestRestAPI(HttpClient):
    _WRAPPERS = [  # list of api clients
        TestAPIs
    ]

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.testapis = None

        for e in self._WRAPPERS:
            attr_name = e.__name__.lower()
            setattr(self, attr_name, e(self))

class TestAPIs where you list all api requests

from http import HTTPStatus


class TestAPIs:
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client
        self.client.add_headers({
            "Accept": "*/*",
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
        })

    def get_request(self):
        response = self.client.get('/echo')
        assert response.status_code == HTTPStatus.OK, 'Invalid request'
        return response

    def post_request(self, body: dict):
        response = self.client.post('/echo/post/form', json=body)
        assert response.status_code == HTTPStatus.OK, 'Invalid request'
        return response

Then has to create object of TestRestAPI and use in tests

from tests.api import TestRestAPI

client = TestRestAPI(address='https://reqbin.com')


def test_check_get_request():
    response = client.testapis.get_request()
    assert 'Simple echo interface for HTTP methods' in response.text, 'Something is wrong'


def test_check_post_request():
    body = {
        'key1': 'value1',
        'key2': 'value2',
    }
    response = client.testapis.post_request(body=body)
    assert 'Success' in response.text, 'Something is wrong'
