It handles API communication, response parsing into Python objects, and includes built-in retry logic via backoff-utils for handling transient API failures. The library depends on validator-collection for input validation and backoff-utils for exponential backoff during retries.\n\nThe package is designed for developers building location-based applications that need to incorporate neighborhood walkability metrics. It abstracts away HTTP request construction and response deserialization, returning structured score objects rather than raw JSON. However, the project has been abandoned since early 2020 with no active maintenance, meaning any breaking changes to the WalkScore API or incompatibilities with newer Python versions will not be addressed.","worth_installing":"No. While the package has low install friction and a permissive MIT license, it is abandoned\u2014last release 2020-01-04, last commit 2022-12-08. Without active maintenance, any API changes, Python version incompatibilities, or dependency updates will go unaddressed. Install only if you have confirmed the WalkScore API contract is stable and you can maintain a fork yourself if needed."},"id":"walkscore-api","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/walkscore-api","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/walkscore-api.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/walkscore-api/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-01-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"walkscore-api","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Unofficial Python bindings for the WalkScore API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73733,"position":14937,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
