Challenge: Your First Async Function

Swipe to show menu

You are working with the public API jsonplaceholder.typicode.com, which provides fake data for testing and learning. Your task is to fetch user information and display it in a readable format.

The endpoint https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/{user_id} returns a JSON object with the following fields:

  • name: the user's full name;
  • email: the user's email address;
  • company: an object with a name field containing the company name.
Task

Swipe to start coding

  1. Define an async function fetch_user(client, user_id) that:
    • Sends a GET request to the users endpoint using the provided client and user_id;
    • Extracts name, email, and company name from the response;
    • Prints them in the format: Name | Email | Company.
  2. Define an async function main() that:
    • Creates an httpx.AsyncClient;
    • Uses asyncio.gather() to fetch users with IDs 1, 2, and 3 concurrently.
  3. Run main() using asyncio.run().
