Top 23 Python REST Projects

httpie
As easy as /aitch-tee-tee-pie/ 🥧 Modern, user-friendly command-line HTTP client for the API era. JSON support, colors, sessions, downloads, plugins & more. https://twitter.com/httpie
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost ten years since HTTPie for Terminal’s initial commit. Seeing the result of scratching our own API itch getting adopted by developers across the world and becoming the most popular API tool GitHub with 50K+ stars has been an incredible experience.

Slightly off-topic, but everyone writing modern Python should be familiar with Pydantic and similar libraries that use type hints for validation and parsing:
https://pydantic-docs.helpmanual.io/
https://github.com/tiangolo/typer
We're using Pydantic for Robusta (https://github.com/robusta-dev/robusta) and absolutely love it. You get the best of traditional Python (rapid prototyping and no boilerplate) while still being able to scale your codebase and keep it maintainable. Robusta is the first large project I've written in Python where I'm not encountering type errors at runtime left and right.

Project mention: Has anyone here used Nextjs (SSR) with Django? What have the benefits been? | reddit.com/r/django | 2022-01-23
I recommend Django with Django Rest Framework, but you can use any other backend server to develop REST API.

-
django-rest-auth
This app makes it extremely easy to build Django powered SPA's (Single Page App) or Mobile apps exposing all registration and authentication related functionality as CBV's (Class Base View) and REST (JSON)
Project mention: Registration and Authentication in Django apps with dj-rest-auth | dev.to | 2021-03-15If you are a Django developer and you are coding a REST API with authentication, you will find the dj-rest-auth package very useful. This project is a fork from django-rest-auth that is no longer maintained. As said, dj-rest-auth provides a set of REST API endpoints to manage user registration and authentication. After an easy installation and configuration, you will have endpoints for:
-
Project mention: Jupyter data analytics on real-time trading data from crypto exchanges | reddit.com/r/ethereum | 2022-01-12
This works by a WebSocket client written in AutobahnPython, which stores data in zLMDB and published data in WAMP via Crossbar.io. zLMDP is memory mapped from within Jupyter, which allows direct high performance access (millions of rows/sec on PyPy!).

I'm using sandman2[0] as a wrapper for psql and mysql databases. how is it different or any feature/differentiating factor I should consider for my future wrappers?
-
flask-restx
Fork of Flask-RESTPlus: Fully featured framework for fast, easy and documented API development with Flask
Project mention: Unsure how to register API endpoints using namespaces in flask-restx | reddit.com/r/flask | 2021-11-28However, after following [the example](https://github.com/python-restx/flask-restx/tree/88497ced96674916403fa7829de693eaa3485a08/examples/zoo_app), [more complex tutorials](https://github.com/TheMorpheus407/Tutorials/tree/master/Flask/RestplusAPI) or other [basic tutorials](https://blog.ordix.de/rest), I still only receive 404s when calling get on /api or the endpoints I tried to define.

Project mention: When is it appropriate to use DRF viewsets.Viewset? | reddit.com/r/django | 2022-01-18
ViewSets don't rule out nested data but it does take more work. I use https://github.com/alanjds/drf-nested-routers in places where I need nested viewsets.

scantron
A distributed nmap / masscan scanning framework complete with scan scheduling, engine pooling, subsequent scan port diff-ing, and an API client for automation workflows.
Project mention: Continuous network enumeration tool like Fing | reddit.com/r/selfhosted | 2021-07-02Best way to get data out is to utilize the Python API client (https://github.com/rackerlabs/scantron/tree/master/scantron_api_client)

I can't show any pics cuz of uk NDA and all that. I can tell you the gist of it though. FastAPI is already pretty good at the abstraction part. Our middleware had a lot of rerouting and it was basically just a bunch of redundant functions. I just used this cool ass package https://fastapi-crudrouter.awtkns.com/ and used the partial function from functools to generate endpoints for every scenario/db tables.

Project mention: For discord.py users, what library are you going switch? | reddit.com/r/Discord_Bots | 2022-01-26
For me, I' m now using hikari because I feel like its a hidden gem cuz of its nice workflow around its command frameworks (lightbulb and tanjun).I haven't tried tanjun but I find both hikari and lightbulb to have a really nice documentation.

Project mention: Bot that checks steam library and tweets it out every 24 hours | reddit.com/r/learnprogramming | 2021-06-09

It would be interesting to learn if the author has considered the APIFlask extension or Quart-Schema with Quart. Both offer API functionality built on the Flask API.

This, based on the official documentation.
