  },
  body: JSON.stringify({name: 'John', email: 'john@example.com'})
});
Python (requests):
import requests
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer token'}
data = {'name': 'John', 'email': 'john@example.com'}
response = requests.post('https://api.example.com/users', json=data, headers=headers)

Tips & Best Practices

Security

  • • Never commit API keys to version control
  • • Use environment variables for secrets
  • • Validate all input data
  • • Use HTTPS for production APIs

Performance

  • • Monitor response times
  • • Set appropriate timeouts
  • • Use caching when possible
  • • Test with different data sizes

Common Issues & Solutions

CORS Errors

Enable CORS proxy or use browser extension

401 Unauthorized

Check authentication headers and token validity
