Why are we doing this?

This task will get you to really think about the response you get back from an API. Use Chrome Dev Tools to examine the response you get back from the server.

Look at a request in Chrome Dev Tools

In Google Chrome, open dev tools network tab and enter this URL into the browser: http://api.tvmaze.com/shows/82/episodes

Answer the following questions:

  1. What's the status code the server sent back?
  2. What HTTP method did the browser use to make the request?
  3. What is the request path?
  4. What is the first line of the response body?
  5. What is the value of the response header called "Content-Type" ?
  6. What is the value of the request header called "User-Agent"

I did steps follow this video and very helpful for me :

What is the value of the response header called "Content-Type" ? The value of the response header called "Content-Type" is application/json; charset=utf-8.

What is the value of the request header called "User-Agent" The User-Agent request header is a characteristic string that lets servers and network peers identify the application, operating system, vendor, and/or version of the requesting user agent.
