Installation

Prerequisites

API Key

Store your Twilio SendGrid API key in a .env file.

Edit the .env file and add your API key.

Quick Start

Here is a quick example:

GET /your/api/{param}/call

import python_http_client

global_headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer XXXXXXX"}
client = Client(host='base_url', request_headers=global_headers)
client.your.api._(param).call.get()
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.body)

POST /your/api/{param}/call with headers, query parameters and a request body with versioning.

import python_http_client

global_headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer XXXXXXX"}
client = Client(host='base_url', request_headers=global_headers)
query_params = {"hello":0, "world":1}
request_headers = {"X-Test": "test"}
data = {"some": 1, "awesome": 2, "data": 3}
response = client.your.api._(param).call.post(request_body=data,
                                              query_params=query_params,
                                              request_headers=request_headers)
