A library that makes consuming a REST API easier and more convenient

Project description

Slumber

Slumber is a python library that provides a convenient yet powerful object orientated interface to ReSTful APIs. It acts as a wrapper around the excellent requests library and abstracts away the handling of urls, serialization, and processing requests.

Getting Help

There are two primary ways of getting help. I have an IRC channel (#slumber on irc.freenode.net) to get help, want to bounce idea or generally shoot the breeze.

QuickStart

  1. Install Slumber:

    $ pip install slumber
  2. Install Optional Requirements:

    pip install simplejson pyyaml
  3. Use Slumber!

Requirements

Slumber requires the following modules.

  • Python 2.5+

  • requests

  • simplejson (If using Python 2.5, or you desire the speedups for JSON serialization)

  • pyyaml (If you are using the optional yaml serialization)

Changelog

0.4.1

  • Added a session kwarg to slumber.API allowing passing a requests session that will be used instead of the slumber created one

0.4.0

  • (Backwards Incompatible) Switched from httplib2 to requests

  • (Backwards Incompatible) Removed the Meta class Magic

  • (Backwards Incompatible) Removed the ability to subclass slumber.API to specify defaults

  • (Backwards Incompatible) New Syntax for Specifying Authentication

0.3.1

  • Fix regression where pre 0.3 urls were assumed to end in slash, and 0.3.0 presumed to end in not slash. Urls are now assumed to end in a slash, and if you don’t want this behavior you can disable it by the append_slash kwarg/Meta option (set to False to disable it).

  • Fix regression caused by a mistyped variable name.

0.3.0

  • Allowed nesting resources infinitely to allow more complex api usage.

  • Cleaned up the Meta class and allow subclassing slumber.API

  • (Backwards Incompatible) Cleaned up the exception names.

  • (Backwards Incompatible) Renamed the slumber.API serialization kwarg from default_format to format to be more consistent

  • Improved the documentation

  • Added Some Tests (This could still be better)

0.2.5

  • Fixed https urls and the accidental force to port 80

  • Fixed the assumption that all urls end in a trailing slash

0.2.4

  • Fixed Including of Changelog.rst

0.2.3

  • Updated the docs to include a section about url parameters

0.2

  • (Backwards Incompatible) Move specifying a non default serializer from api.resource.get(format="yaml") to api.resource(format="yaml").get()

  • Reworked the internal Resource api to not clobber any kwargs passed to it. This fixes a bug where you couldn’t use format or url as the name for one of the url parameters.

0.1.3

  • Fix for Resource.post() not passing kwargs to Resource.get()

0.1.2

  • Initial public release of Slumber
