miniREST

MiniREST is a project mainly written in Python, based on the Apache-2.0 license.

Minimalistic REST client library for Python. Written as a simple drop-in solution for testing django-tastypie applications.

Simple interface to the REST web services. Supports 'GET', 'PUT', 'POST' and 'DELETE' methods.
Tailored towards JSON based services, although should be pretty straightforward to implement
different data payload methods:
    - subclass from RESTClient
    - implement _build_<data type>_payload method (see json example)
    - pass data to get, put, etc method as 'data_<data type>' keyword argument

Examples:

    c = RESTClient('api.example.com')
    c.get('/api/v1/resource/')
    c.put('/api/v1/resource/instance1/', data_json={'params': ['res1a', 'res1b']})
    c.post('/api/v1/resource/', data_json={'name': 'instance2', 'params': ['res2a', 'res2b']})
    c.delete('/api/v1/resource/instance1/')
