It abstracts away boilerplate HTTP setup, allowing you to define API endpoints and make requests with minimal configuration. The package supports Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12, and is designed to work with both synchronous and asynchronous patterns via its httpx foundation.\n\nThe library is in Alpha status and has been dormant since its last release on 2023-10-03, with no active development. It depends on httpx for HTTP transport and python-slugify for URL handling. While it has a small but real user base (166 GitHub stars), the lack of recent maintenance means you should expect no bug fixes or feature updates; it is suitable only for stable, low-change use cases where the existing API meets your needs.","worth_installing":"Yes, if your use case is stable and you don't need active maintenance. The package is lightweight, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and works with modern Python versions. However, the dormant status and unclear license mean you should verify the license terms upfront and accept that no fixes or updates will arrive. Suitable for small, self-contained projects; avoid if you need ongoing support or frequent dependency updates."},"id":"simple-rest-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simple-rest-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/simple-rest-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/simple-rest-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-10-03","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"simple-rest-client","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Simple REST client for python 3.8+"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":80672,"position":14277,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.1"}
