💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using standard headers like 'Content-Type' or 'Accept' instead of a custom version header.

The custom header X-API-Version is commonly used to specify the API version in header-based versioning.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to check if the API version is 'v2'.

Rest API

if version == '[1]':
    process_v2_request()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'version2' or '2.0' which are not the standard version strings.

The version string is usually short and simple like v2 to indicate version 2.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly extract the version from headers.

Rest API

api_version = request.headers['[1]']

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

CVersion

DApi-Version

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect header names like 'Version' or 'Api-Version' which do not exist.

The correct header key is X-API-Version to get the version value.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a response that varies based on the API version header.

Rest API

if request.headers.get('[1]') == 'v1':
    return [2]('Response for version 1')

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect header names or response functions that do not return JSON.

The header X-API-Version is checked, and jsonify is used to create a JSON response.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to implement header-based versioning with default fallback.

Rest API

version = request.headers.get('[1]', '[2]')
if version == 'v1':
    return [3]({'message': 'Version 1 response'})

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

AX-API-Version

Bv1

Cjsonify

Dmake_response

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not providing a default version or using wrong response functions.

The code reads the X-API-Version header with a default of v1, then returns a JSON response using jsonify.
