It abstracts away the details of different schema and hypermedia formats\u2014CoreJSON, OpenAPI, JSON Hyper-Schema, HAL, and plain JSON\u2014allowing you to retrieve API schemas and execute actions against them using a unified interface. You instantiate a Client, fetch a document from an API endpoint, and then call actions on that document with parameters, letting the library handle format negotiation and response parsing.\n\nThe package has zero runtime dependencies, making installation lightweight. However, it has been abandoned since 2019-02-27 and receives no maintenance. The last release was 2017-10-05, and the repository is archived. If you are working with a legacy Core API system or have an existing codebase already using coreapi, it may still function, but there is no active support for new features or bug fixes.","worth_installing":"No, not for new projects. The package is abandoned (last release 2017-10-05, repository archived), receives no maintenance, and has not been tested against modern Python versions. Install only if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on coreapi and cannot migrate to an actively maintained alternative. For new work, choose a modern, maintained HTTP client or API framework."},"id":"coreapi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/coreapi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/coreapi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/coreapi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-10-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"coreapi","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python client library for Core API."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1592788,"position":3734,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.3.3"}
