API implementation using Flask, currently hosted here. Check out the examples.
We have one file with the name books.csv. The CSV file contains the general information about the books, like book name, author, year of publication, etc. Develop two API endpoints, where you can see the requirements below:
- API will return number of rows requested from the books.csv file.
- Input : rows=3
- Output: (JSON)
- 2nd API will give freedom to the user to filter and see any data from the file. The user could
only able to filter from the given column list. If a column is not present then a graceful error
message should return. Even if the API didn’t find any filter response then the user should
get a empty response.
- Input: Ex. (JSON) {"authors":"Jesse Grant"}
- Output: (JSON)
