Trippin Exercise

Introduction

You are working in a company that uses the Trippin software to manage travels. You have to write a command-line tool to automate the creation of users.

Starting point

You have received a JSON file with all users.

Your Job

• Iterate through all users in the file users.json
  • For each user, check if the user exists (e.g. for user with UserName russelwhyte: https://services.odata.org/TripPinRESTierService/People('russellwhyte')).
  • If the user exists, do nothing
  • If the user does not exist, add him. Here is an example request for adding a user:

POST https://services.odata.org/TripPinRESTierService/People
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "UserName":"lewisblack",
    "FirstName":"Lewis",
    "LastName":"Black",
    "Emails":[
        "lewisblack@example.com"
    ],
    "AddressInfo": [
    {
      "Address": "187 Suffolk Ln.",
      "City": {
        "Name": "Boise",
        "CountryRegion": "United States",
        "Region": "ID"
      }
    }
    ]
}
