This repo is a wrapper programme based python's requests package, adding a simple API key management capability.
It is designed to:
- Enable calling API endpoints using multiple API keys
- So that different API keys can be used for each consecutive call
- This can potentially benefit in cases where each API key is rate limiting
- When the rate limit is specified, this wrapper will automatically sleep accordingly until
the API key can be used again, reducing the chance of getting
a bad
429 Too Many Requestserror code
Installation
pip install requests-wrapper
Example
from requests_wrapper.requests_wrapper import RequestsWrapper
# Load API keys, api_key_header and rate limit when constructing the class instance
requests_wrapper = RequestsWrapper(
api_keys=["<api_key1>", "<api_key2>"],
api_key_header="Authorization",
call_limit_per_second=2
)
queries = ["search_term1", "search_term2", "search_term3"]
responses = []
for query in queries:
# Calling this is almost the same as calling requests,
# with the addition of specifying the http_method
response = requests_wrapper.call(
http_method="get",
url="<my_url>",
params={"q": query}
)
responses.append(response)
