== #2 Learning a new API == In this exercise, I want to you to practice learning to use a new API and practice reading some API documentation. We're going to start with the '''Dog API''' which is online at: https://dogapi.dog # Visit the [https://dogapi.dog Dog API website] and read the API documentation # Write a URL that will return a single dog fact (you don't need to turn in any python code for this! just the link is fine!) # Write a URL that will return 5 dog facts at once (just the link is fine) # Take your URL to request a single dog fact and put into a Python program that uses <code>requests.get()</code> and passes in parameters with the <code>params=</code> argument. Your program should just print out the fact itself and not the full JSON object # Finally, write a for loop that gets sets of 5 facts 5 times (you can just try something like <code>for number in [1,2,3,4,5]</code>, downloads the lists of dog facts, and then writes out a new tab-separated values (TSV) file with columns: (1) ID of the dog fact, and (2) the fact itself!
