codewords-client

What it is and what it does

Codewords Client is a Python wrapper for the Codewords API that bundles HTTP communication, structured data validation, and FastAPI server integration into a single package. It handles the mechanics of calling a remote API while providing type-safe request and response objects through Pydantic. The package is designed to work seamlessly in FastAPI applications, reducing boilerplate for developers who need to integrate Codewords functionality into their services.

The client depends on httpx for HTTP transport, fastapi and uvicorn for server capabilities, structlog for structured logging, pydantic for data validation, and redis for caching or session management. It targets modern Python versions (3.11+) and is actively maintained with recent releases.

Use it for:

• Integrate Codewords API calls into a FastAPI web service without writing raw HTTP code.
• Build a microservice that proxies or wraps Codewords functionality for downstream clients.
• Add Codewords capabilities to an existing FastAPI application with minimal setup.
• Develop a CLI or batch tool that communicates with Codewords using type-safe client methods.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

A Python client library for the Codewords API with built-in FastAPI integration, handling HTTP communication and structured request/response handling.

Yes, if you need to call the Codewords API from a Python application, especially within FastAPI. The low install friction, active maintenance, MIT license, and lack of known vulnerabilities make it a straightforward choice. The substantial runtime dependency footprint (6 packages) is typical for a web-integrated client and not a barrier unless you're in a highly constrained environment.

Install

codewords-client on PyPI

pip install codewords-client

uv add codewords-client

poetry add codewords-client

Installing codewords-client

Before you install

Low friction install with a pure-wheel distribution. The package is actively maintained and requires Python 3.11 or later. Runtime dependencies include httpx, fastapi, structlog, pydantic, uvicorn, and redis—a substantial dependency footprint typical of a web-integrated client.

License in practice

MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions, making it suitable for most projects.

Quickstart

pip install codewords-client

import codewords_client
# Use the client with FastAPI integration as documented

Requires Python 3.11 or later.

Verify before relying

• Specific API endpoints and methods available in the client beyond the generic HTTP communication layer.
• Whether FastAPI integration is automatic or requires explicit configuration.
• Authentication requirements or patterns for the Codewords API.
