💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '-name' for ascending order

Using 'asc' which is not accepted here

Using 'name' sorts users by name in ascending order. A leading '-' would sort descending.

hard

Rest API

GET /products?[1]=electronics&[2]=-price

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

Afilter

Bcategory

Csort

Dlimit

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'filter' as a parameter name instead of 'category'

Using 'limit' instead of 'sort'

'category=electronics' filters products in the electronics category, and 'sort=-price' sorts them by price descending.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a query that filters users by active status, limits results to 5, and sorts by signup date ascending.

Rest API

💡 Hint

Using 'status' instead of 'active'

Using 'sort' as a value instead of parameter name

'active=true' filters active users, 'limit=5' restricts results to 5 users, and 'sort=signup_date' sorts by signup date ascending.
