Brian #1: <a href="https://pypi.org/project/djrest2/?featured_on=pythonbytes">djrest2 - A small and simple REST library for Django based on class-based views.</a>

<li>As opposed to <a href="https://www.django-rest-framework.org?featured_on=pythonbytes">using DRF</a> or <a href="https://django-ninja.dev?featured_on=pythonbytes">Django Ninja</a></li>

Michael #2: <a href="https://cli.github.com/?featured_on=pythonbytes">Github CLI</a>

<ul>
<li>GitHub’s official command line tool</li>
<li>Features
<ul>
<li>Checking out a pull request locally</li>
<li>You can clone any repository using OWNER/REPO syntax: gh repo clone cli/cli</li>
<li>Create a pull request interactively: gh pr create</li>
</ul></li>
<li>See all at <a href="https://cli.github.com/manual/examples?featured_on=pythonbytes">cli.github.com/manual/examples</a></li>

Brian #3: <a href="https://github.com/ZA1815/caniscrape?featured_on=pythonbytes">caniscrape - Know before you scrape. Analyze any website's anti-bot protections in seconds.</a>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1ob3na1/i_built_a_tool_that_tells_you_how_hard_a_website/?featured_on=pythonbytes">reddit announcement and discussion</a></li>
<li>caniscrape checks a website for common anti-bot mechanisms and reports:

<ul>
<li>A difficulty score (0–10)</li>
<li>Which protections are active (e.g., Cloudflare, Akamai, hCaptcha, etc.)</li>
<li>What tools you’ll likely need (headless browsers, proxies, CAPTCHA solvers, etc.)</li>
<li>Whether using a scraping API might be better</li>
</ul>

This helps you decide the right scraping approach before you waste time building a bot that keeps getting blocked.</li>
</ul>
