Working with APIs

Working with APIs\n\nMost modern services expose a JSON‑based HTTP API. The requests library makes consuming these APIs effortless.\n\npython\nimport requests\n\napi_url = 'https://api.github.com/repos/python/cpython'\nresp = requests.get(api_url)\nif resp.ok:\n data = resp.json()\n print('Stars:', data['stargazers_count'])\nelse:\n print('Error:', resp.status_code)\n\n\nAuthentication (API keys, OAuth) and pagination are common advanced topics you’ll encounter in real‑world integrations.\n
