python - Best practices for passing many optional params to a function that wraps a REST API -


this opinionated suppose curious if there common "best practice" pattern this.

say have api i'm wrapping takes 1 of many (30+) optional parameters pass uri. passing 30 keywords ridiculous, chose following:

from urllib.parse import urlencode  def example(required,**kwargs):     print('wwww.exampleapi.com/limit='+required+'&{}'           .format(urlencode(kwargs)))  example('foobar',a=1,b=2,c=3) >>> wwww.exampleapi.com/limit=foobar&a=1&c=3&b=2

this allows me flexibility have optional keyword arguments without having specify them individually in parameters list, , don't have use kwargs.get() billion times. downside if want validate arguments passed in valid api parameters, need maintain list or mapping of sort , check **kwargs membership in list since i'm not using kwargs.get (or @ least that's i've thought far). can point api documentation parameters use.

is there glaring problems should aware of using approach?
