How to write proper API under python?

Question

linux

Hello!
Please share your experience. Purpose: to write an API (the purpose of the API itself is not important in this case, just input / output of certain data) under python, the main task is to access the API in two ways, via the web, for example:
api.host/?func=create&user=test
and via console:
[[email protected] ~]# /usr/local/api/bin/api.py func=create user=test
Perhaps there are ready-made schemes or frameworks?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Maybe this will help you. List of blogs on writing api. Even in python there are as many as 4 examples

Answer 2

As mentioned above, the API can be written on any framework, the main thing is that it should comply with the REST methodology (for good). Alternatively, you can take a look at this blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/designing-a-restful-a... post here showing how to build an api using flask as an example. The post does not cover the use of flask.ext.restful well, I advise you to take a look at it if you decide to do it with flask.
And here's one more note - restapi implies working through an http server, so [[email protected] ~]# /usr/local/api/bin/api.py func=create user=test will not work from the console. Should be something like
[[email protected] ~]# curl -i api.host/?func=create&user=test

Answer 3

Check out Fhalcon

Answer 4

I used to use bottle exclusively for the web for the API, as far as I understand, all these frameworks like fhalcon and bottle do not allow you to use the console version at the same time, so you may need to write some kind of wrapper separately for the console, and already take these into account in your libraries all arguments. But I feel that this is a crutch :)
By the way, does anyone have experience with libvirt-python? I did not find in the documentation how to change the domain config like virsh edit, is it really "hands" of the xml itself in /etc/libvirt/qemu/domain.xml?

Answer 5

I would use habrahabr.ru/post/160117 in Django to implement the command line api through manage commands - there is a wrapper for calls :)
