request an image from the api https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search in python

To request an image from the API https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search in Python, you can use the requests library. Here's an example code to make the request:

main.py
import requests

url = "https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search"
response = requests.get(url)

if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()
    image_url = data[0]['url']
    print(image_url)
else:
    print("Unable to get image from API")
257 chars
12 lines

In this code, we first import the requests library. We then define the API url as url. We use the requests.get() method to make the request and store the response in response.

We then check the status code of the response. If it's 200 (which means the request was successful), we parse the JSON data in the response using response.json() and get the image URL from the first item in the list of images returned by the API.

Finally, we print the image URL. You can use this URL to display the image in your application.
