Simple python library to deal with URI Templates. The API looks like
from uritemplate import URITemplate, expand
# NOTE: URI params must be strings not integers
gist_uri = 'https://api.github.com/users/sigmavirus24/gists{/gist_id}'
t = URITemplate(gist_uri)
print(t.expand(gist_id='123456'))
# => https://api.github.com/users/sigmavirus24/gists/123456
# or
print(expand(gist_uri, gist_id='123456'))
# also
t.expand({'gist_id': '123456'})
print(expand(gist_uri, {'gist_id': '123456'}))Where it might be useful to have a class
import requests
class GitHubUser(object):
url = URITemplate('https://api.github.com/user{/login}')
def __init__(self, name):
self.api_url = url.expand(login=name)
response = requests.get(self.api_url)
if response.status_code == 200:
self.__dict__.update(response.json())When the module containing this class is loaded, GitHubUser.url is
evaluated and so the template is created once. It's often hard to notice in
Python, but object creation can consume a great deal of time and so can the
re module which uritemplate relies on. Constructing the object once should
reduce the amount of time your code takes to run.
pip install uritemplate
