This project involved learning how to use the urllib and requests Python libraries to send and receive HTTP messages to URL's. I practiced sending GET and POST requests, fetching JSON resources, and interacting with API's (the Star Wars API, GitHub API, and Twitter API).

• 0. What's my status? #0

  • 0-hbtn_status.py: Python script that fetches https://intranet.hbtn.io/status.
  • Uses urllib.

• 1. Response header value #0

  • 1-hbtn_header.py: Python script that displays the X-Request-Id response header variable of a request to a given URL.
  • Usage: ./1-hbtn_header.py <URL>
  • Uses urllib.

• 2. POST an email #0

  • 2-post_email.py: Python script that sends a POST request to a given URL with a given email, and displays the response body.
  • Usage: ./2-post_email.py <URL> <email>.
  • Uses urllib.

• 3. Error code #0

  • 3-error_code.py: Python script sends a request to a given URL and displays the response body.
  • Handles HTTP errors.
  • Uses urllib.

• 4. What's my status? #1

  • 4-hbtn_status.py: Python script that fetches https://intranet.hbtn.io/status.
  • Uses requests.

• 5. Response header value #1

  • 5-hbtn_header.py: Python script that displays the X-Request-Id response header variable of a request to a given URL.
  • Usage: ./5-hbtn_header.py <URL>
  • Uses requests.

• 6. POST an email #1

  • 6-post_email.py: Python script that sends a POST request to a given URL with a given email, and displays the response body.
  • Usage: ./6-post_email.py <URL> <email>.
  • Uses requests.

• 7. Error code #1

  • 7-error_code.py: Python script sends a request to a given URL and displays the response body.
  • Handles HTTP errors.
  • Uses requests.

• 8. Search API

  • 8-json_api.py: Python script that sends a POST request to http://0.0.0.0:5000/search_user with a letter passed as parameter.
  • Usage: ./8-json_api.py <letter>
  • The letter is sent as the value of the variable q.
  • If no letter is given, sets q="".
  • If the response body is properly formatted and non-empty, displays it as [<id>] <name>.
  • Uses requests.

• 9. My Github!

  • 10-my_github.py: Python script that takes GitHub credentials (username and password) and uses the Github API to display the corresponding ID.
  • Usage: ./10-my_github.py <username> <password>
  • Uses requests.

• 10. Time for an interview!

  • 100-github_commits.py: Python script that lists the 10 most recent comments of a given GitHub repository using the GitHub API.
  • Usage: ./100-github_commits.py <repository name> <owner name>
  • Uses requests.
