Rest API

api_base_url = "[1]"

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Omitting the protocol (https://) causes connection errors.

The API base URL must include the protocol (https://) to be valid and accessible.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'text/html' or 'application/xml' instead of 'application/json'.

APIs commonly use 'application/json' as the content type for sending and receiving JSON data.

Fix the error in the code to correctly send a GET request using the requests library.

Rest API

response = requests.[1](api_base_url, headers=headers)

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'post' or 'put' instead of 'get' for fetching data.

To retrieve data from an API, the GET method is used. Using POST or others would change the request type.

4fill in blank

Complete the code to parse JSON response and extract the 'data' field.

Rest API

json_response = response.[1]()
data = json_response"data"

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using dot notation instead of brackets to access dictionary keys.

Use the json() method to parse the response, then access the 'data' field using square brackets.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension filtering items with value > 10.

Rest API

filtered = {k: v for k, v in data.items() if v [1] 10 and [2](k, str)}

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '=' instead of ':' in dictionary comprehension.

Using '==' instead of '>' for comparison.

Using dot notation instead of isinstance for type checking.

Dictionary comprehension uses ':' to separate keys and values. The condition checks if value is greater than 10 and key is a string using isinstance.
