Base API Processor Class

Base API Processor Class

Base API Processor Class

Details

Abstract base class for API processors that provides common functionality including unified logging, error handling, input processing, and response validation. This eliminates code duplication across all provider-specific processors.

Public fields

provider_name

Name of the API provider

logger

Unified logger instance

base_url

Custom base URL for API endpoints

Methods

Public methods

• BaseAPIProcessor$new()

• BaseAPIProcessor$process_request()

• BaseAPIProcessor$get_api_url()

• BaseAPIProcessor$get_default_api_url()

• BaseAPIProcessor$make_api_call()

• BaseAPIProcessor$extract_response_content()

• BaseAPIProcessor$clone()
