💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 200 instead of 429

Using 404 which means Not Found

Using 500 which means Server Error

The HTTP status code 429 means "Too Many Requests". It tells the client to slow down.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using != instead of ==

Using < or > which check less or greater, not equality

To check if the status code is exactly 429, use the equality operator ==.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps IPs to their request counts only if count is greater than 100.

Rest API

ip_counts = {ip: [1] for ip, count in requests.items() if count [2] 100}

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

Acount

B<

C>

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using ip instead of count as value

Using < instead of > in the condition

The dictionary maps each IP to its count, but only includes IPs with counts greater than 100.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps user IDs to their names only if their request count is less than 50.

Rest API

user_names = { [1]: [2] for [3], data in users.items() if data['requests'] < 50 }

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

Bdata['name']

Dusers

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'users' instead of 'user_id' as loop variable

Using data['requests'] >= 50 instead of < 50

Mixing up keys and values in the comprehension

The dictionary comprehension maps each user_id to their name if their request count is less than 50.
