Args:
- endpoint (string, required): The API path (e.g. "/v1/weather/{city}")
- path_params (object, optional): Values for path parameters like {city}, {code}, {id}
- query_params (object, optional): Query string parameters (q, limit, offset, lat, lon, etc.)
Examples:
- Current weather in Stockholm:
endpoint="/v1/weather/{city}", path_params={"city": "stockholm"}
- Search jobs:
endpoint="/v1/jobs/search", query_params={"q": "developer", "limit": 5}
- Train departures from Stockholm Central:
endpoint="/v1/transport/trains/{station}", path_params={"station": "Cst"}
- Exchange rates:
endpoint="/v1/rates"
- Population by municipality:
endpoint="/v1/population/{municipalityCode}", path_params={"municipalityCode": "0180"}
- Police events in Stockholm:
