This tutorial will show you how you can call our APIs using Python. For sending sample get API request in python 3 then install the requests library using pip install requests or pip3 install requests. Create a new filename with python extension i.e callapi.py.

# importing the requests library 
import requests 

# api-endpoint 
URL = "https://treasurejsapi.herokuapp.com/api/v1/search"

# defining a params dict for the parameters to be sent to the API 
PARAMS = {'find': 'as'} 

# sending get request and saving the response as response object 
r = requests.get(url = URL, params = PARAMS) 

# extracting data in json format 
data = r.json() 

print(data)

OUTPUT

For output run the file using command python callapi.py. Then you will get the output like below:
