API Basics and Components | Dataford Interview Questions

Which are the three main elements of an API?

For this coding task, represent them as the request method, endpoint, and payload. Implement api_elements(request) to return these values in that order. The input is a dictionary with method, endpoint, and payload keys, and the output is a three-element list.

Constraints

request contains exactly the keys method, endpoint, and payload
method and endpoint are strings
payload may be any JSON-compatible value, including null
Return the values in the order method, endpoint, payload

Function Signature

def api_elements(request):
