Dimcli is a Python client for accessing the Dimensions Analytics API. It makes it easier to authenticate against the API, send queries to it and process the JSON data being returned.
>>> import dimcli
>>> dimcli.login(key="private-key-here",
endpoint="https://app.dimensions.ai/api/dsl/v2")
>>> dsl = dimcli.Dsl()
>>> res = dsl.query("""search grants for "malaria" return researchers""")
>>> print(res.json)

Dimcli includes also a command line interface (CLI) that aims at simplifying the process of learning the grammar of the Dimensions Search Language (DSL).
Dimcli plays nice with Jupyter notebooks too. It comes with various magic commands for querying the API, transforming JSON data into dataframes and turning them into interactive tables with hyperlinks - so that data can be inspected further on external websites.
