Most modern web and mobile applications store user information such as name, email, address, interests, profile picture, etc. Sling Academy provides API endpoints with information about 1000 fictitious users for software prototyping, learning, practicing, and testing purposes.
Get a List of Users
To get a collection of users, you can send a GET request to this:
https://api.slingacademy.com/v1/sample-data/usersParameters for pagination and searching:
offset(optional): This specifies the number of records to skip before any records are retrieved. The default is 0.limit(optional): The number of users you want to return on a page. The default is 10.search(optional): Default is an empty string. This helps you find users whose first name, last name, email address, street, city, state, country, or job match the search term.
The fields of a user record include id, first_name, last_name, email, phone, gender, date_of_birth, street, city, state, country, zipcode, longitude, latitude, job, and profile_picture (not all users have profile pictures, and if a user chooses not to set a profile picture, a placeholder avatar will be used instead).
For example, if you send a GET request to the following URL:
https://api.slingacademy.com/v1/sample-data/users?offset=10&limit=20You will get the following result in JSON format:
{

}You can send requests with any programming language or library. Below is an example that uses JavaScript:
const fetchData = async (url) => {
const response = await fetch(url)
const data = await response.json()
console.log(data);
}
const URL = 'https://api.slingacademy.com/v1/sample-data/users/1'
fetchData(URL)That’s it. If you find something wrong, please let me know by leaving a comment. Happy coding & have a nice day!
