Exam 350-401 topic 1 question 436 discussion

I've read the for ENCOR we just need to "6.1 Interpret basic Python components and scripts". I wonder why I see alot of high level question about Python here

Answer is C, I verified by writing the below program to test: import json import requests url = "http://ip.jsontest.com" response = requests.get(url) print(response) with open("ifaces.json","w") as outfile: outfile.write(response.text)

It´s C The ( Response ) object obtained from the ( requests.get() ) method contains the JSON-formatted configuration data in its ( text attribute ).

can someone show me step-by-step how does this works it always confuses me.do we use postman to do this?.

requests.get() returns a "response" object. write() method accepts only string datatypes as arguments, not anything else. A: Wrong: json.loads() method takes a "string" formatted as Json as argument, and returns a dict. Trying to write a 'dict' to a file raises an exception. B: Wrong: Trying to write the whole Response object to a file raises an exception C: Correct: 'text' is an attribute of 'response' which is the response's body as a Json-formatted string. Thus, it can be directly written to the file. D: Wrong: .json() method returns the response's json body to a dictionary, same as json.loads(response.text) does.

The correct answer is C. C. with open("ifaces.json", "w") as OutFile: OutFile.write(Response.text) Explanation: When you make a request using the requests.get() method, the response object Response contains the server's response in text format. To save this response as a JSON-formatted file, you need to write the text attribute of the response to the file. Option C does this correctly by using OutFile.write(Response.text). Options A and D are incorrect because they attempt to convert the response content to JSON using json.loads() or Response.json(), respectively. However, in this case, the response is already in text format and should be directly written to the file. Option B is incorrect because it attempts to write the entire response object (Response) to the file, which will not be in valid JSON format.

Answer is C

Ok, I think I got it -> C. Explanation as below. A wrong: json.loads() is used to make a python dictionary out of a json string - this is not what we are looking for as we actually should get a json string. B wrong: This will provide the http response, not a text string. E.g. <Response [200]> if all good. C correct: Since APIs return JSON strings by default we only need to write them into a file. Script example: url = "http://ip.jsontest.com" response = requests.get(url=url) print(response.text," ",type(response.text)) Result: {"ip": "77.112.51.84"} <class 'str'> D wrong: outfile.write(response.json()) changes the type of the data from string to dictionary so we're getting an error: TypeError: write() argument must be str, not dict

C Is correct. Tested all answers.

Should be C. If you just write "response", I believe you will get the "200"

I will go with B

B is correct. Response is a variable not a file

B is correct. https://stackabuse.com/reading-and-writing-json-to-a-file-in-python/

D is correct
