💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using POST instead of GET to fetch data.

Confusing PUT with GET for data retrieval.

The GET method is used to retrieve data from another service in REST APIs.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to add a JSON payload when sending data to another service.

Microservices

response = requests.post('http://service/api/data', json=[1])

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

Bparams

Cheaders

Dpayload

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing headers or params instead of the actual data payload.

Using 'data' instead of 'payload' variable.

The 'json' parameter expects a dictionary or object named 'payload' containing the data to send.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly check if the response status code indicates success.

Microservices

if response.status_code == [1]:
    print('Success')

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

B500

C200

D301

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Checking for 404 which means not found.

Using 500 which means server error.

Status code 200 means the request was successful in HTTP.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to correctly parse JSON data from the response and access the 'user' field.

Microservices

data = response.[1]()
user = data[2]'user')

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

Ajson

Btext

C['

D.get(

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using response.text() instead of response.json().

Accessing dictionary keys with brackets without checking existence.

Use response.json() to parse JSON data, then use .get('user') to safely access the 'user' field.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to build a REST API call with headers, query parameters, and handle the JSON response.

Microservices

headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer [1]'}
params = {'id': [2]
response = requests.get('http://service/api/item', headers=headers, params=params)
data = response.[3]()

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

Bitem_id

Cjson

Dpayload

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing wrong variable names for headers or params.

Forgetting to parse JSON from response.

Use the correct token string for Authorization header, pass the item ID as query parameter, and parse response JSON.
