node.js (JavaScript, axios)

1.Install Node.js:

Ensure Node.js and npm are installed. Verify by running:

node --version
npm --version

If not, download from Node.js Official Website.

Initialize a new Node.js project:

npm init -y

Install Axios:

npm install axios

2.Set Up a New Project:

Create a new project directory:

mkdir node-axios-example
cd node-axios-example

Initialize the project:

npm init -y

3.Create and Run the Code:

Save the generated code in a file(e.g., app.js).

Run the code:

node app.js

node.js (JavaScript, fetch)

1. Install Node.js:

Ensure Node.js and npm are installed. Verify by running:

node --version
npm --version

If not, download from Node.js Official Website.

Initialize a new Node.js project:

npm init -y

If using Node.js 18 or newer, the Fetch API is already built-in.

For older versions, install the node-fetch package:

npm install node-fetch

2. Set Up a New Project:

Create a project directory:

mkdir node-fetch-example
cd node-fetch-example

Initialize the project:

npm init -y

3.Create and Run the Code:

Save the generated code in a file( e.g., app.js). If using node-fetch, add the following line to the top of the file:

Python (requests)

Here are the detailed instructions for running the generated API Dash code in Python (using requests) for macOS, Windows, and Linux:

1. Install Python:

macOS:

Windows:

  • Go to the official Python website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
  • Download the latest version for Windows and run the installer. During installation, make sure to check the box that says "Add Python to PATH."

Linux:

  • Most Linux distributions come with Python pre-installed. To check if Python is already installed, open the terminal and type:
python3 --version
  • If it's not installed, you can install it via your package manager:
    • On Ubuntu/Debian-based systems:

      sudo apt update
      sudo apt install python3
      
    • On Fedora/CentOS-based systems:

      sudo dnf install python3
      

2. Install the requests library:

macOS and Linux:

Open the terminal and type the following command to install the requests library using pip:

pip3 install requests

Windows:

Open Command Prompt (or PowerShell) and type the following command to install the requests library using pip:

pip install requests

3. Execute the generated code:

Once you have Python and requests installed, follow these steps to execute the generated code:

  1. Open a text editor ✍️ (like Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on macOS, or any code editor like Visual Studio Code).
  2. Copy the generated code 📋 from API Dash.
  3. Paste the code into the text editor 🔄.
  4. Save the file 💾 with a .py extension, such as api_test.py.

This makes the steps a little more visual and fun!

macOS and Linux:

  1. Open the Terminal.
  2. Navigate to the directory where you saved the .py file. For example:
cd /path/to/your/file
  1. Run the Python script by typing the following command:
python3 api_test.py

Windows:

  1. Open Command Prompt (or PowerShell).
  2. Navigate to the directory where you saved the .py file. For example:
cd C:\path\to\your\file
  1. Run the Python script by typing the following command:
python api_test.py

Python (http.client)

Here are the detailed instructions for running the generated API Dash code in Python using http.client:

1. Install Python:

Check out the instructions here for detailed steps on how to install Python on macOS, Windows, or Linux.

2. http.client is a built-in library:

Unlike other Python libraries (like requests), http.client is part of Python's standard library. You can directly use it without any additional installation steps.
