This project is a simple Python program that demonstrates how to work with public APIs using the GET method. It retrieves user data from a public API, displays it in a structured format, filters specific users based on a condition, and handles possible errors.
The program uses the requests library to fetch data from the following public API endpoint:
https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users
It first prints details of all users and then displays only those whose city name starts with the letter 'S'. If no such user exists, it shows an appropriate message. The script also handles cases where the API fails to respond or returns an empty list.
The following details are displayed for each user:
- Name
- Username
- City (from address.city)
The output format is simple and readable, for example:
User 1:
Name: Leanne Graham
Username: Bret
Email: Sincere@april.biz
City: Gwenborough
If there are no users whose city starts with ‘S’, the program prints:
No users found with city starting with 'S'.
To run the program:
- Make sure Python 3 is installed on your system.
- Install the
requestslibrary if not already installed using: pip install requests - Save the Python file as
api_request.py. - Open the terminal in the same directory and run: python api_request.py
The program will then fetch the data from the API, print all user details, and display filtered results if applicable. It also provides clear error messages in case of a failed API response or empty data.
This project is part of an internship task designed to demonstrate the ability to:
- Use API calls with the GET method
- Handle and parse JSON data
- Loop through data and print selected fields
- Apply filtering logic
- Implement error handling
