PYTHON LESSON
REST APIs
API request sends input and receives structured response.
Handle status code and timeout always.
No error handling for failed requests.
Read this next
You will study REST APIs. It belongs to the Real-World Tools phase.
Remember this:
API request sends input and receives structured response.
Practice step by step. Do not rush. Each run should show you something new.
Tip:
Handle status code and timeout always.
Avoid this:
No error handling for failed requests.
Your challenge:
Call public API and print formatted output.
Go to the challenge lab below. Fix errors until the output looks right. Then press the green button to complete the topic.
Example code
Copy this example if it helps. Change it so it matches REST APIs.
# Topic: REST APIs
def main():
sample = "edit me"
# TODO: apply REST APIs concept here
result = sample
print("Result:", result)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Challenge
Call public API and print formatted output.
Before you can finish: your output should include at least 16 characters; at least 1 non-empty line(s); no crash traceback—fix errors until the program runs cleanly.
Use Run. Read the output. Change your code until the task is done.
