🐍 Python Tip! Easily add query parameters to your API calls when using Python by using the params argument in requests.get().

Here`s an example 👇

import requests

# Define API endpoint
url = "http://suzieq-server/api/v2/devices"

# Query parameters to filter the API request
params = {
    "namespace": "lab",   
    "hostname": "leaf01"   
}

# Make a GET request with query parameters using the 'params' argument
response = requests.get(url, params=params)

# Print the full URL after query parameters have been added
print(response.url)

# Output:
# http://suzieq-server/api/v2/devices?namespace=lab&hostname=leaf01
