CRUDs is a high level library for API's, and is ideal for automation system and/or interactive environments like Notebooks.

>>> import cruds
>>> catfact_ninja = cruds.Client(host="https://catfact.ninja/")
>>> data = catfact_ninja.read("fact")
>>> print(data)

Make Create, Read, Update and Delete requests quickly, easily, and safely. CRUDs aims to handle the majority of the general setup so you can focus on moving data.

Features:

• Authentication with a bearer token, username & password, or OAuth2 (Beta)
• Data serialization/deserialize (Only JSON format)
• Request parameters as Dictionaries and automatically URL encoded
• Default connection timeout (300 seconds)
• Raises exceptions on bad status codes (Can be white listed)
• Retries with back-off
• SSL Verification
• Logging for monitoring
• Interfaces (SDK Creation)

To install a stable version use PyPI.

pip install cruds

All features can be adjusted on the Client to suit most needs.

from cruds import Client

# Authentication with Username and Password
api = Client(host="https://localhost/api/v1/",
             auth=("username", "password"))

# Authentication with Token
api = Client(host="https://localhost/api/v1/",
             auth="bearer-token")

# Send and receive raw data and ignore bad status codes
api = Client(host="https://localhost/api/v1/",
             serialize=False,
             raise_status=False)

# Disable SSL Verification
api = Client(host="https://localhost/api/v1/",
             verify_ssl=False)

Once the client has been created, CRUD requests can be made by supplying URI's, data & params with Dictionaries.

Example

api.create(uri="user", data={"name": "fred"}, params={"company_id": "1003"})
id = api.read(uri="user", params={"name": "fred", "select": "id"})
api.update(uri=f"user/{id}", data={"name": "Fred"})
api.delete(uri=f"user/{id}")

By default update will use a PATCH method which generally indicates only updating the set of specific values. An update may also use the PUT method to perform a replacement, which can be used by setting replace to True.

Access tokens can be generated by OAuth2 servers. CRUDs supports the grant type Client Credentials or Password if a username and password is supplied.

When an expires in time is returned by the server the access token refreshing is taken care of automatically.

from cruds import Client
from cruds.auth import OAuth2

api = Client(
    host="https://localhost/api/v1/",
    auth=OAuth2(
        server="https://localhost/token",
        client_id="id",
        client_secret="secret",
        scope="api",
    )
)

The OAuth 2.0 framework will take time to implement and implemented properly. Support in improving this coverage is very welcome. Let the project know of any Issues.

Within CRUDs pre-configured Interfaces have been created. To use an Interface import them from interface packages under cruds.interfaces.<name>.

Currently available:

• Planhat - https://docs.planhat.com/

Example:

from cruds.interfaces.planhat import Planhat

planhat = Planhat(api_token="9PhAfMO3WllHUmmhJA4eO3tJPhDck1aKLvQ5osvNUfKYdJ7H")

help(planhat)

Because CRUDs is high level it has verbose logging to assist with capturing information around general operations.

If you want to see logging set the level using the standard logging interface. DEBUG will show you URLLib3, but INFO will give you general information from the CRUDs Client.

import logging
import cruds

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

The library has been created with extensibility in mind, so that Software Development Kits can be created. There is two ways that this can be done, one as described below or by creating an Interface.

The basic approach is to create a new class and add the logic requirements needed to make the requests.

from cruds import Client

class CatFactNinja(Client):
    """Cat Fact Ninja Interface"""

    _fact_uri = "fact"

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        host = "http://catfact.ninja/"
        super().__init__(host=host, **kwargs)

    @property
    def fact(self):
        """ Get a Fact about Cats"""
        return self.read(self._fact_uri)

cat = CatFactNinja()
print(cat.fact)

CRUDs supports creating interfaces with large amounts of models as a mixture of YAML configuration and functions for the common logic. This significantly reduces the amount of python coding needed, and the common methods can be reused.
