Microservice HTTP Client

Microservice HTTP Client Base

BaseClient is a reusable, extensible base class for creating HTTP clients in a microservices architecture. It simplifies making requests to internal services and includes built-in retry logic, error handling, and token-based authentication.

Features

• Retry with exponential backoff and jitter
• Easy Bearer token injection
• Centralized error handling (ServiceError)
• Custom retry hook for logging/monitoring
• Designed for subclassing per microservice

Example

from microclient.cline.base import BaseClient

class InventoryClient(BaseClient):
    def get_stock(self, product_id):
        return self._request("GET", f"/inventory/{product_id}")

class OrderClient(BaseClient):
    def create_order(self, order_data):
        return self._request("POST", "/orders", json=order_data)
