Question

Python:

•Write a program to get the Food Menu using an API

•The program should be able to display different food items. If possible, add food prices .

Answer 1

The assumption for API. Let's say there's an API that on GET call gives us the food menu and further details including food prices.

API gives JSON Response when called with GET Request.

The API Response looks like below.

{

"1": {

"name": "Plain Cold Coffe",

"price": "45"

}

"2": {

"name": "Plain Hot Coffe",

"price": "55"

}

}

And so on... The API could be of any format. The following python program can be used for processing the response and displaying the Food Menu.

import urllib.request, json
print("Food Menu")
requestURL = "https://example-api.com/example-food-menu-api" # Enter API URL Here
with urllib.request.urlopen(requestURL) as url:
    menu = json.loads(url.read().decode())
    for item in menu:

print("Name: "+name+" Price: "+price)

In the above program, we've used two libraries urlbib and JSON. You can modify the code according to your custom requirements. This will simply display the items and their prices on the menu, one item per line.
