Using request and response headers
Headers contain additional information about your API calls, including the desired or used response format. Using accept
and content-type
headers, client and server can negotiate what response format to use.
In this exercise, you'll use headers to inspect response formats after making a request and make a new request specifying the desired format via the accept
header.
The requests
package has been imported for your convenience.
