I use Lightsteem to test and query Hivemind endpoints. Structure-wise, Hive's RPC server part is compatible with the steemd RPC nodes. So, it's a simple configuration touch.

condenser_api

Example to get followers of an account:

from lightsteem.client import Client

c = Client(nodes=["https://hivemind.emrebeyler.me"])
followers = c.get_followers("emrebeyler", "", "blog", 10)
print(followers)

You can find the list of methods here.

hive_api

Example to get the database head state

from lightsteem.client import Client

c = Client(nodes=["https://hivemind.emrebeyler.me"])
head_state = c('hive').db_head_state()
print(head_state)

Output:

{'db_head_block': 29371204,
 'db_head_time': '2019-01-11 20:15:51',
 'db_head_age': 10}

Auto-complete endpoint

from lightsteem.client import Client

c = Client(nodes=["https://hivemind.emrebeyler.me"])

# search for accounts starting with dpoll, 
# from emrebeyler's perspective.

accounts = c('hive').get_accounts_ac(["dpoll", "emrebeyler"])

print(accounts)

Output:

get_accounts

from lightsteem.client import Client

c = Client(nodes=["https://hivemind.emrebeyler.me"])

# retrieve basic data of the passed accounts
accounts = c('hive').get_accounts([["foo", "bar"]])

print(accounts)

Output:

[{'name': 'foo',
  'vote_sp': 0,
  'joined_at': '2016-04-05 09:18:45',
  'reputation': 25.0},
 {'name': 'bar',
  'vote_sp': 0,
  'joined_at': '2016-05-01 14:59:12',
  'reputation': 25.0}]

For the Beem fans, it's also possible with Beem's internal GrapheneRPC client.
