What is APIs with requests?

The requests library is the standard Python tool for making HTTP requests. It is used to call REST APIs that return JSON or XML data. A typical workflow involves calling requests.get(url, params=params), checking the response status, and parsing the JSON body with .json() before loading it into a DataFrame.
