Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to specify the HTTP method used to retrieve data from a server.

Rest API

response = requests.[1]('https://api.example.com/data')

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

Cget

Dpost

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

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

Confusing 'put' with 'get' method.

The get method is used to request data from a server in a client-server architecture.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to send JSON data to the server using the correct HTTP method.

Rest API

response = requests.[1]('https://api.example.com/data', json=payload)

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

Aget

Bpost

Cdelete

Dpatch

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'get' when trying to send data.

Confusing 'delete' with 'post' method.

The post method is used to send data to the server, often to create new resources.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly check if the server responded with a success status code.

Rest API

if response.status_code [1] 200:
    print('Success!')

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

A==

B>=

C<

D!=

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '!=' which checks for inequality.

Using '>' or '<' which may not be precise for success check.

The status code 200 means the request was successful, so we check if status_code == 200.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps endpoints to their status codes only if the status code is 200.

Rest API

status_map = {endpoint: response.[1] for endpoint, response in responses.items() if response.status_code [2] 200}

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

Astatus_code

B==

C!=

Dcontent

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'content' instead of 'status_code' for the first blank.

Using '!=' instead of '==' in the condition.

The comprehension maps each endpoint to its status_code only if the status code equals 200.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps each endpoint's uppercase name to its JSON data only if the response status code is greater than 199.

Rest API

data_map = { [1]: [2] for endpoint, response in responses.items() if response.status_code [3] 199 }

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

Aendpoint.upper()

Bresponse.json()

C>

Dendpoint.lower()

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'endpoint.lower()' instead of uppercase for the key.

Using 'response.status_code' instead of 'response.json()' for the value.

Using '<' or '==' instead of '>' for the status code check.

The comprehension maps the uppercase endpoint name to the JSON data if the status code is greater than 199.
