Data models

Returned objects are dataclass-based, so you can use attribute access and standard tools like dataclasses.asdict() for serialisation.

Typed response models for the Colony API.

All models are plain dataclasses — no third-party dependencies. Every model exposes a from_dict() classmethod that accepts the raw API JSON and a to_dict() method that returns it back, so they work as drop-in wrappers around the existing dict returns.

Fields that the API may omit are typed as X | None and default to None.
