💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Importing HttpOperator instead of SimpleHttpOperator

Using HttpSensor which is for sensors, not operators

The SimpleHttpOperator is the correct operator to make HTTP API calls in Airflow.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to create a SimpleHttpOperator task that calls the 'get' method.

Apache Airflow

task = SimpleHttpOperator(
    task_id='call_api',
    method='[1]',
    http_conn_id='my_api',
    endpoint='data'
)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'post' instead of 'get' when only retrieving data

Using uppercase method names

The method parameter specifies the HTTP method. To retrieve data, use 'get'.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the SimpleHttpOperator code by completing the missing parameter for the connection ID.

Apache Airflow

task = SimpleHttpOperator(
    task_id='call_api',
    method='GET',
    [1]='my_api',
    endpoint='data'
)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'conn_id' or 'connection_id' which are incorrect parameter names

Using 'api_conn' which is not recognized

The correct parameter name for the HTTP connection ID in SimpleHttpOperator is http_conn_id.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a SimpleHttpOperator that sends JSON data with a POST request.

Apache Airflow

task = SimpleHttpOperator(
    task_id='post_data',
    method='[1]',
    http_conn_id='my_api',
    endpoint='submit',
    data=[2]
)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using GET method when sending data

Passing data as a string instead of a dictionary

To send data, use the POST method and provide a JSON dictionary in the data parameter.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a SimpleHttpOperator that calls a GET endpoint with headers and extracts the response.

Apache Airflow

task = SimpleHttpOperator(
    task_id='get_with_headers',
    method='[1]',
    http_conn_id='my_api',
    endpoint='info',
    headers=[2],
    response_filter=[3]
)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Aget

B{'Authorization': 'Bearer token123'}

Clambda response: response.json()

Dpost

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using POST method instead of GET

Passing headers as a string

Not using a lambda to parse JSON response

The method is GET to retrieve data, headers include authorization, and response_filter processes the response JSON.
