Day 05: Query Parameters and POST Requests

Introduction

Query parameters allow you to send additional information in a GET request. POST requests are used to send data to a server to create or update a resource.

Key Concepts

Query Parameters:

Pass query parameters using the params argument in requests.get().

Making a POST Request:

Use requests.post() to send a POST request with data. Code Examples

Query Parameters:

params = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/data', params=params)
print(response.url)  # This will show the URL with the query parameters

Making a POST Request:

data = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
response = requests.post('https://api.example.com/data', data=data)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())

Challenges

Challenge 1: GET with Query Parameters

Send a GET request with query parameters to a public API and print the response.

Challenge 2: POST Request

Write a script to send a POST request with JSON data to a public API (e.g., JSONPlaceholder) and print the response.

Challenge 3: Data Submission

Create a script that submits form data to a server using a POST request.
