Prompt

def get_users():
    return requests.get('https://api.example.com/users').json()

def update_user(user_id, data):
    return requests.put(f'https://api.example.com/users/{user_id}', json=data).json()

Answer

API Endpoint Structure

Endpoints

  1. GET Users

    • URL: /users
    • Method: GET
    • Description: Retrieves all users from the API
    • Response: JSON object containing a list of users
  2. Update User

    • URL: /users/{user_id}
    • Method: PUT
    • Description: Updates the user with the specified user_id
    • Request Body: JSON data with the fields to update
    • Response: JSON object of the updated user

Endpoint Implementation

GET Users

@app.route('/users', methods=['GET'])
def get_users():
    response = requests.get('https://api.example.com/users').json()
    return jsonify(response)

Update User

@app.route('/users/<int:user_id>', methods=['PUT'])
def update_user(user_id):
    data = request.get_json()
    response = requests.put(f'https://api.example.com/users/{user_id}', json=data).json()
    return jsonify(response)

Notes

  • Ensure to handle errors and exceptions appropriately in the API endpoints
  • Consider adding authentication and authorization mechanisms for secure access
  • Verify and validate inputs to prevent malicious attacks such as SQL injection or script injection
  • Use proper status codes in API responses to indicate the success or failure of requests
