Description of the tasks:

JSON API Exercise 1

Write a Python script that:
- Sends a GET request to https://jsonapiplayground.reyesoft.com/v2/authors?
page[size]=10
- Parses the JSON response
- Prints a list of dictionaries containing:
o Each author’s name in a “name” key
o The number of books they have written in a “book_count” key

JSON API Exercise 2

Write a Python script that:
- Pages through the endpoint below
- Extends an author_list variable with each page of author data
- Stops paging when either:
o There are no more authors
o 15 pages have been processed
- Tells the user which condition above stopped the loop
- Prints the author_list variable
Starting endpoint: https://jsonapiplayground.reyesoft.com/v2/authors?
page[size]=10&page[number]=1JSON API Exercise 3
Write a Python function that:
- Accepts an author_id parameter
- Sends a GET request to https://jsonapiplayground.reyesoft.com/v2/authors/{au-
thor_id}
- Parses the JSON response
- Returns a single dictionary containing:
-
o The author name in a “name” key
o The number of books they have written in a “book_count” key
Raises a meaningful exception if the author_id is not found
For bonus points, write a unit test to prove that your function raises the expected exception
if author_id is not found. You will need to mock the API response to achieve this.

JSON API Exercise 3

Write a Python function that:
- Accepts an author_id parameter
- Sends a GET request to https://jsonapiplayground.reyesoft.com/v2/authors/{au-
thor_id}
- Parses the JSON response
- Returns a single dictionary containing:
-
o The author name in a “name” key
o The number of books they have written in a “book_count” key
Raises a meaningful exception if the author_id is not found

I'm using v_env, to initialise: Install pip first, then: To create v_env: python3 -m venv my_env

    activate v_env:
        source myvenv/bin/activate

For testing I'm using pytest, to install: pip install -U pytest see docs: https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/getting-started.html

For the response test I'm using: pip install responses

For testing I cd to script to test, example: cd script_1 and then python -m pytest

I'm solving Exercise 3 in script_1 alongside with the Exercise 1, mocking the request as expected and raising a meaningful exception
