Store your Twilio SendGrid API key in a .env file.
cp .env_sample .env
Edit the .env file and add your API key.
Here is a quick example:
GET /your/api/{param}/call
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.
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) print(response.status_code) print(response.headers) print(response.body)
