Processing multiple endpoints with expand

Your team pulls data from multiple API endpoints that change over time, and hardcoding a separate task for each one means editing the Dag every time an endpoint is added or removed. In this exercise, you'll turn that rigid pipeline into a data-driven one: with expand(), Airflow reads the list of endpoints at runtime and spins up one task instance per item, so the pipeline automatically adjusts as the number of endpoints changes.
