💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using POST instead of GET to retrieve data.

The GET method is used to retrieve data from the API, which is essential for validating the contract.

Rest API

if response.status_code == [1]:

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using response.text instead of response.json().

Using response.json() parses the response body as JSON, which is needed to validate the contract data.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to check if the response contains the expected key and its value is correct.

Rest API

if '[1]' in data and data['[2]'] == 'success':

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'error' or 'message' instead of 'status'.

The contract expects a 'status' key with value 'success' to confirm correct API behavior.

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that extracts user IDs for active users.

Rest API

active_users = {user['[1]']: user['[2]'] for user in data['[3]'] if user['active']}

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

Using 'status' instead of 'users' for the list key.

This comprehension builds a dictionary of user IDs and names for users marked active, validating the contract's data structure.
