Is there an API similar to Node.text in py-tree-sitter here?

import tree_sitter_python as tspython
from tree_sitter import Language, Parser,Node

PY_LANGUAGE = Language(tspython.language())
parser = Parser(PY_LANGUAGE)

def get_function_name(node:Node) -> str|None:
    if node.type == "function_definition":
        children = node.named_children
        for child in children:
            if child.type == "identifier":
                return child.text.decode("utf-8") # !!!THIS API
    return None

if __name__ == '__main__':
    tree = parser.parse(
        bytes(
            """
    def foo():
        if bar:
            baz()
    """,
            "utf8"
        )
    )
    function_node = tree.root_node.children[0]
    print(function_node.type)
    print("function name: " ,get_function_name(function_node))

output:

function_definition
function name:  foo

It's up to the caller to actually resolve the ranges within the text backing store. Most of this library does this via a TextProvider function. It's also up to that function to make sure the state snapshot this node represents still matches the current state of text.

So, no, there is not. But we could making something fairly close and I think it's not a bad idea.
