I Built 8 Python API Clients in One Day (Here's the Pattern)

Yesterday I published 8 Python API wrappers to GitHub. Each one took about 20 minutes. They all follow the same pattern. Here's the template. The Pattern Every API client I build has: A single class A base URL A private _get() method Public methods that return clean dictionaries Under 100 lines total import requests class MyAPIClient : BASE = " https://api.example.com/v1 " def __init__ ( self , api_key = None ): self . api_key = api_key def _get ( self , endpoint , ** params ): if self . api_key : params [ " apikey " ] = self . api_key resp = requests . get ( f " { self . BASE } / { endpoint } " , params = params ) resp . raise_for_status () return resp . json () def get_something ( self , query ): data = self . _get ( " search " , q = query ) return [{ " title " : r [ " title " ], " url " : r [ " url " ]} for r in data [ " results " ]] That's it. No complex abstractions. No decorator magic. No metaclasses. The 8 Clients Client API Auth Lines CoinGecko Crypto prices None 45 Open-Meteo
