hard📝 Application Q15 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify required parameters
We need a date range (last 30 days), grouping by endpoint, and metrics count and average response time.Step 2: Match API call to requirements
GET /api/metrics?start=2024-05-01&end=2024-05-30&group_by=endpoint&metrics=count,response_time_avg uses GET with start/end dates, group_by=endpoint, and metrics=count,response_time_avg which fits perfectly.Step 3: Check other options
POST /api/metrics with JSON body {"group_by":"endpoint","metrics":["count","response_time_avg"]} uses POST which is unusual for fetching metrics; A uses different parameter names not standard; D lacks metrics selection.Final Answer:
GET /api/metrics?start=2024-05-01&end=2024-05-30&group_by=endpoint&metrics=count,response_time_avg -> Option BQuick Check:
Date range + group_by + metrics = GET /api/metrics?start=2024-05-01&end=2024-05-30&group_by=endpoint&metrics=count,response_time_avg [OK]
Quick Trick: Use GET with start/end, group_by, and metrics parameters [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Using POST instead of GET for data retrieval
- Missing metrics parameter
- Using incorrect parameter names
