Uplink is a declarative HTTP client library for Python, inspired by Retrofit, that turns REST APIs into Python classes using decorators and type hints. It supports pluggable HTTP backends (requests, aiohttp, Twisted), async I/O, and converters for pydantic and marshmallow models.

Use cases

• build a python client for a rest api
• define api clients declaratively with decorators
• make async http requests with aiohttp
• deserialize json responses into pydantic models
• wrap a third-party rest api in a reusable class
• swap http backends without rewriting client code

When to choose

• you want a structured, class-based API client instead of ad-hoc requests calls
• you like Retrofit's declarative style in Python
• you need async support via aiohttp or Twisted
• you want built-in serialization with pydantic or marshmallow

When to avoid

• you need a simple one-off HTTP request
• you prefer writing requests calls directly
• you need a client for a non-REST protocol like GraphQL or gRPC
