Python API Querying: Searching Repositories with Parameters

Interacting with web APIs is a core skill for modern developers, but retrieving exactly the data you need requires mastering query parameters. In this text-based course, you will learn how to construct parameterized API requests in Python to search, filter, and extract repository data. You will move from sending basic requests to handling complex query parameters, managing API responses, and parsing structured data safely. What you'll learn: - Understand the foundational concepts of HTTP requests, query parameters, and API endpoints - Construct parameterized queries in Python to search and filter repository data - Utilize modern Python type hints and dataclasses to structure API response data - Handle API rate limits, status codes, and connection errors robustly - Practice parsing JSON payloads to extract specific repository metrics and details Starting with basic API terminology and HTTP concepts, you will progress through practical, written code examples that demonstrate how to build clean, parameter-driven API queries and handle real-world API responses. This course is designed for beginner Python developers who want to learn how to interact with web APIs. No prior API experience is required.
