Tutorials
Basic Usage
This section covers the basic operations you can perform with our APIs, such as retrieving data, creating resources, and updating or deleting resources.
GET Request
A GET request is used to retrieve data from the API. Here's an example:
response = api_client.get('/path/to/resource')
print(response.data)
POST Request
A POST request is used to create a new resource. Here's an example:
data = {
'name': 'John Doe',
'email': 'john.doe@example.com'
}
response = api_client.post('/path/to/resource', data=data)
print(response.data)
PUT Request
A PUT request is used to update an existing resource. Here's an example:
data = {
'name': 'Jane Doe',
'email': 'jane.doe@example.com'
}
response = api_client.put('/path/to/resource/123', data=data)
print(response.data)
DELETE Request
A DELETE request is used to delete a resource. Here's an example:
response = api_client.delete('/path/to/resource/123')
print(response.data)
Advanced Usage
For more advanced use cases, check out the following tutorials:
Pagination
To retrieve data in pages, use the page
and limit
parameters in your GET request. Here's an example:
response = api_client.get('/path/to/resource', params={'page': 1, 'limit': 10})
print(response.data)
Sorting and Filtering
To sort and filter the results, use the sort_by
and filter_by
parameters. Here's an example:
response = api_client.get('/path/to/resource', params={'sort_by': 'name', 'filter_by': 'name=John Doe'})
print(response.data)
Authentication
To authenticate your requests, use the Authorization
header. Here's an example:
headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'}
response = api_client.get('/path/to/resource', headers=headers)
print(response.data)
