Make datamodels more DRY

[Layf21]

Make datamodels DRY

Motivation

Right now the datamodels are not as DRY as they could be. Every _from_dict and _from_list manually unpacks the JSON response. Abstracting this would:

• Make adding new fields easier
• Reduce boilerplate and clutter
• Improve readability

Implementation

Haven’t fully thought through all the details yet, but the following could be replaced or generalized:

• _from_dict
• _from_list
• Automatic and/or manual mapping from snake_case → camelCase

The idea is to have a generic base class for datamodels that handles most of this automatically, while still allowing overrides for special cases.

Issues / Considerations

Potential edge cases or challenges:

• Error detection (e.g., type mismatches, unexpected API responses or missing fields)
• Nested dataclasses
• Lists of dataclasses
