Answer

API Endpoint Structure

Endpoint:

  • Endpoint URL: https://api.example.com/data
  • HTTP Method: POST

Request Body:

{
  "param1": "value1",
  "param2": "value2"
}

Response:

  • Content-Type: application/json
  • Body: JSON response data

Python Code Example:

import requests

url = 'https://api.example.com/data'
data = {'param1': 'value1', 'param2': 'value2'}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)

print(response.json())

API Design Notes:

  • Use POST method for sending data to the API endpoint.
  • Ensure request body is in JSON format.
  • Handle errors and provide appropriate status codes and error messages.
  • Implement authentication and authorization mechanisms if required.

This API structure supports sending data in JSON format to the API endpoint and receiving a JSON response back. The provided Python example demonstrates how to interact with the API using the requests library.
