You want to test an API endpoint that returns a list of items filtered by a query parameter category. Which code snippet correctly tests this filtering using APIClient?

Aresponse = client.get('/api/items/?category=books')

Bresponse = client.post('/api/items/', data={'category': 'books'})

Cresponse = client.get('/api/items/', data={'category': 'books'})

Dresponse = client.get('/api/items/category/books')

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand how to send query parameters in GET requests
Query parameters are appended to the URL after a question mark.
Step 2: Evaluate options for correct query parameter usage
response = client.get('/api/items/?category=books') correctly appends '?category=books' to the URL; others misuse POST or data argument.
Final Answer:
response = client.get('/api/items/?category=books') -> Option A
Quick Check:

Quick Trick: Use URL query string for GET filters [OK]

MISTAKES

Using POST instead of GET for filtering
