Requests Document - HTTP for Humans


What's API and How to get it?

An Application Programming Interface(API) is a set of commands, functions, protocols, and objects that programmers can use to create software or interact with an external system.

  1. fing API Endpoint & parameters if need
    ex. api.coinbase.com
  2. make request

    ex.
    parameters = {
         "lat": MY_LAT,
         "lng": MY_LONG,
         "formatted": 0,
     }
    
     response = requests.get("https://api.sunrise-sunset.org/json", params=parameters)
    
  3. get response code
    ex.
    response.raise_for_status()
    > HTTP situations:
    1XX: Hold on
    2XX: Here you go
    3XX: Go away
    4XX: You screwed up
    5XX: I screwed up

Kanye_quote

def get_quote():
    response = requests.get(url="https://api.kanye.rest")
    response.raise_for_status()
    kanye_quote = response.json()["quote"]
    if len(kanye_quote.split(" ")) > 18:
        canvas.itemconfig(quote_text, text=kanye_quote, font=("Arial", 20, "bold"))
    else:
        canvas.itemconfig(quote_text, text=kanye_quote)
