Instead of building URLs like `requests.get(\"%s/repos/%s/%s/watchers\" % (base, user, repo))`, you write `api.repos(user, repo).watchers.GET()`. It supports all HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS) and passes through any keyword arguments to the underlying requests methods, including auth, headers, and params.\n\nThe package was last updated in April 2013 and is no longer maintained. While it has no known security vulnerabilities, its age means it has not been tested against modern Python versions or recent versions of requests, and the codebase is frozen. For new projects, more actively maintained REST client libraries or modern async alternatives would be safer choices.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last update April 2013, no commits since), install friction is high, and license terms are unclear. While it has no known vulnerabilities and works for simple REST wrapping, modern alternatives are actively maintained and better suited to current Python ecosystems. Use only if you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it."},"id":"hammock","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hammock","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/hammock.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/hammock/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2013-04-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"hammock","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"rest like a boss"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":169349,"position":10420,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.4"}
