doc & example: update: setting up proxy #39
Conversation
WalkthroughThe README adds a "Using a proxy" section and converts several bash code fences to tildes. The example client now reads proxy and CA bundle environment variables, configures Changes

48-57: Consider logging for better observability, Number One.The CA bundle configuration logic is sound. However, silently catching all exceptions may mask unexpected errors during development or troubleshooting. As a starship's first officer would advise, visibility into anomalies strengthens our defensive posture.
Consider adding a debug log when the attribute doesn't exist:
# set CA for both requests and the elabapi-client ca_path = os.getenv("CA_PATH") or os.getenv("REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE") if ca_path: # let requests (and other libs) use this CA bundle unless already set os.environ.setdefault("REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE", ca_path) try: configuration.ssl_ca_cert = ca_path - except Exception: + except AttributeError: # attribute may not exist on all generated configurations pass + except Exception as e: + # unexpected error, log for debugging + if configuration.debug: + print(f"Warning: Could not set ssl_ca_cert: {e}")

47-56: Engage similar refinements for CA bundle handling.The CA certificate configuration follows the same pattern as the proxy configuration. The same optional refinements apply here: consider catching
AttributeErrorspecifically and adding debug logging if desired.Apply this diff for more specific exception handling:
try: configuration.ssl_ca_cert = ca_path - except Exception: + except AttributeError: # attribute may not exist on all generated configurations - pass + if configuration.debug: + print("Note: This client version does not support the 'ssl_ca_cert' attribute")
29-45: Make it so: align documentation with implementation
- Remove
NO_PROXYfrom the proxy usage comments (examples/client.py:33) or implement its handling.- Optional: catch
AttributeErrorinstead of broadExceptionand add debug logging ifconfiguration.debugis enabled.# export HTTPS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:8080" -# export NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1 # export REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/path/to/mitmproxy-ca.pemtry: configuration.proxy = proxy_url - except Exception: + except AttributeError: # some generated clients don't expose 'proxy', so ignore safely + if getattr(configuration, "debug", False): + print("Note: This client version does not support the 'proxy' attribute")

58-62: Excellent work, ensign!The Authorization header configuration is properly placed after the ApiClient instantiation, and the approach using
set_default_headeris sound. This ensures the API key is consistently included in all requests made through this client.

| The simplest way to route API traffic through a proxy is to set standard environment variables before running your script. |
