Calling the web framework

As we have created the web framework and hosted it on a server, let's see some examples on how to call the APIs using different methods. We would see examples on calling the encode and decode APIs.

Here is the Python code:

import requestsimport urllibendpoint="endpoint ip address"def getencode(query):        url="http://"+endpoint+"/encode"        payload ='{"encode":"'+query+'"}'        r = requests.post(url = url, data=payload)        output=r.json()        for value in output.values():            encodedvalue=value        return encodedvaluedef getdecode(encodedstring):        url="http://"+endpoint+"/decode"        payload ='{"decode":"'+encodedstring+'"}'        r = requests.post(url = url, data=payload)        output=r.json()        print (output)encodedvalue=getencode("abhishek[:]password")
