API Endpoint Structure

Overview

Based on the provided code snippet, a single GET endpoint will be created to retrieve data from https://api.example.com/data.

Endpoint Details

• Method: GET
• Endpoint: https://api.example.com/data
• Headers:
  • Accept: application/json
  • Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

API Endpoint Code

Below is a sample Python Flask code snippet to create the API endpoint:

from flask import Flask, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/data', methods=['GET'])
def get_data():
    # Simulate data retrieval logic
    sample_data = {'example_key': 'example_value'}
    return jsonify(sample_data)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

Testing the Endpoint

You can test the created endpoint using tools like Postman or by running the Python script and sending a GET request to http://127.0.0.1:5000/data (assuming the script is running locally).

Authorization

For implementation of authorization with Bearer token, you can validate the token before processing the request in the get_data function.

Improvements

• Implement actual data retrieval logic based on the provided API URL.
• Add error handling for cases where data retrieval fails.
• Enhance security measures like rate-limiting, input validation, etc.

By following this structure, you can integrate the API endpoint into your web application to fetch and display data securely.
