I created this after trying to use Finicity&#x27;s API for my personal project. This handles authorization, endpoints and parameters, paging, mapping responses to typed objects.<p>Note that Plaid has a similar but official Python API library. But so far as I know, it only handles the authorization and endpoints, not the paging and mapping responses to objects.<p>I&#x27;m a little confused why companies whose product is an API don&#x27;t create robust client libraries as they can do so better and more cheaply than their customers (and only once). If anyone can shed light on why they don&#x27;t, I would be interested to know.
