HTTP Requests

HTTP Requests have some common request types:

• /GET: request.get(): is used to retrieve data from a server.

GET https://api.user.org/users/?id=AAA

• /POST: request.post(): is used when sending data to the server to create new resources.

POST /api/users
Content-Type: application/json
{
  "id": "AAA",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "[e-mail]"
}

• /PUT: request.put(): is used to update or replace a resource on the server.

PUT /api/users/AAA
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "AAA Smith",
  "email": "[e-mail]"
}

• /DELETE: request.delete(): is used to remove or delete a resource on the server.

DELETE /api/users/AAA

• Sample Python code: Remember to create a .env file with TOKE, USERNAME, and ENDPOINT.

import os
import dotenv
import requests

PIXELA_TOKEN = os.getenv("PIXELA_TOKEN")
PIXELA_USERNAME = os.getenv("PIXELA_USERNAME")
PIXELA_ENDPOINT = os.getenv("PIXELA_ENDPOINT")
headers = {
    "X-USER-TOKEN": PIXELA_TOKEN
}

user_param = {
    "token": PIXELA_TOKEN,
    "username": PIXELA_USERNAME,
    "agreeTermsOfService": "yes",
    "notMinor": "yes"
}
response = requests.post(url=PIXELA_ENDPOINT, json=user_param)
print(response.text)
