Extra perks unlocked via skillcraft.ai link
Learn to build HTTP clients and master web APIs in Python. This interactive course covers everything from basic HTTP requests to advanced async programming, authentication, and API integration. You'll write real Python code to interact with live APIs, handle JSON responses, manage headers and authentication, and build concurrent HTTP clients using modern async/await patterns. Perfect for Python developers who want to work with web APIs, build API clients, or understand how HTTP communication works under the hood.
