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

cp .env_sample .env

Edit the .env file and add your API key.

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)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.headers)
print(response.body)

The simplest local development workflow is by using docker.

1. Install Docker
2. Run docker-compose build (this builds the container)
3. Run docker-compose up (this runs tests by default)

Please see our troubleshooting guide for any issues.

All updates to this project is documented in our CHANGELOG.
