Installation
============

Prerequisites
-------------

-  Python version 2.7 or 3.4+

Install Package
---------------

.. code:: bash

    pip install python_http_client

or

.. code:: bash

    easy_install python_http_client

API Key
-------

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

.. code:: bash

    cp .env_sample .env

Edit the ``.env`` file and add your API key.

Quick Start
===========

Here is a quick example:

``GET /your/api/{param}/call``

.. code:: python

    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.

.. code:: python

    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)
