API Coding Challenge

Requirements:

  • Use Python 3.8 as base version
  • Create a class for all API interactions with methods for all interactions with the API
  • Use pythonic practices as much as possible, including formatting matching PEP-8 standards
  • Bonus Points - Include pytest based unit tests

Scenario:

The JSONPlaceholder website allows for testing against a sample set of data, description here: (http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/)

Notice that examples are in JavaScript, you will have to translate what is expected to Python.

(Full endpoint API docs here: (http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/guide.html))

Using the API to interact with the JSONPlaceholder website, accomplish the following goals:

  1. Print the value of the title for post number 99
  2. Inject a field called time into the results for post number 100 and print the whole JSON record
    1. Use the datetime library to perform this action with a UTC timestamp matching the following format DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS
  3. Create a new /posts entry which the following values
    1. Title: Test Post
    2. UserID: 500
    3. Body: This is an insertion test with a known API
  4. Determine if your post was successful, and if it was, create a tuple of the 3 following values
    1. The “id” field of the new record
    2. The status code returned from the POST
    3. The value of the “x-Powered-By” field in the headers
  5. Print the tuple from #4
  6. Delete the record you created in #3, by referencing the new “id”. Print the return status code and the x-content-type-options from the returned object
