I love to explore around some technology over the weekend.
This time around I tried outJupyter Notebooks usingPython VS Code extension.

So things you need:-

• Python 3.7
• Python VS Code extension
• Jupyter package

To start off with, I tried to make some makeREST API calls using Jupyter nb in VS code so I picked upGithub Rest Apis.

The file extension for Jupyter notebook is .ipynb

Since some of the Github Apis doesn't require to have authentication to access the data, I selectedGithub users API.

Steps to get the API response

1. In the first cell, import the requests module inside the notebook
   

2. Declare the constants for endpoint
   

3. Make an API call using "requests" module
   

4. Get back the response and access it via response.text
   

You can see how I did this in the below example:-

Hope you enjoyed this article. I will come up with new tech learning articles.

Thanks for reading this.

Happy learning!!
