Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating urllib usage in the Python API client and review how HTTP calls are covered by existing tests. Done means the client uses requests consistently and the existing behavior remains covered and passing.

Description

refactor

The urllib API is quite low level and awkward to use - it will be better to use requests module.
