reqrest

A package for using REST APIs

Purpose

A lot of APIs are REST based, reqrest provides an easy way to use them.

Usage

Getting started is easy, first install the package using pip install reqrest

Next import it

from reqrest import REST

RESTAPI = REST('postman-echo.com')

Then query your API

RESTAPI.get('/get')

You can add custom headers

custom_headers = {"authorization": "Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ="}
RESTAPI = REST('postman-echo.com', headers=custom_headers)

Or querystrings

querystring = {}
querystring[pagesize] = 1000
RESTAPI.get('/get', querystring=querystring)

Have a read of examples/simple.py

Authentication

You can use basic_auth to create and store your headers / config

headers = Auth().read_config("basic_config.json")
RESTAPI = REST('postman-echo.com', headers=headers)
