It provides three main tools: pathlib-like URL objects that let you construct and manipulate URLs with familiar path-like syntax, a JSON-backed cache decorator to avoid redundant function calls, and a CacheControl adapter that integrates with requests to rate-limit HTTP requests. The package wraps requests and related utilities to make common API and URL-handling patterns more convenient.\n\nIt's designed for developers building HTTP clients, API wrappers, or tools that need to manage URL construction, response caching, or request throttling. The library supports Python 3.6 and later, including PyPy, and is actively maintained. Most functionality is available out of the box; rate-limiting via the rate_limiter module requires an optional 'limiter' extra.","worth_installing":"Yes. apeye is actively maintained, has low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem for API and URL-heavy code. The copyleft license (LGPLv3+) is a consideration if you're building proprietary software, but poses no issue for open-source or internal tools. Install it if you need convenient URL handling, response caching, or request rate-limiting in an HTTP client."},"id":"apeye","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/apeye","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/apeye.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/apeye/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-08-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"apeye","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Handy tools for working with URLs and APIs."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":856504,"position":4888,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.4.1"}
