Code Example

import requests

url = "https://bytepicks.com/api/request"
params  =  {
   'time': 'daily',
   'lang': 'EN',
   'top': 30
}

response = requests.get(url, params)

if response.status_code == 200:
   data = response.json()
   # Process the response data as needed
   print(data)
else:
   print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")

const axios = require('axios');

const url = 'https://bytepicks.com/api/request';
const params = {
   'time': 'daily',
   'lang': 'EN',
   'top': 30
};

axios.get(url, { params })
   .then(response => {
         // Process the response data as needed
         console.log(response.data);
   })
   .catch(error => {
         console.error(`Error: ${error.response.status}`);
   });

require 'net/http'
require 'json'

url = URI.parse('https://bytepicks.com/api/request')
params = {
   'time' => 'daily',
   'lang' => 'EN',
   'top' => 30
}

url.query = URI.encode_www_form(params)
response = Net::HTTP.get_response(url)

if response.code.to_i == 200
   data = JSON.parse(response.body)
   # Process the response data as needed
   puts data
else
   puts "Error: #{response.code}"
end

using System;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

class Program
{
   static async Task Main()
   {
      var url = "https://bytepicks.com/api/request";
      var parameters = $"time=daily&lang=EN&top=30";

      using (var client = new HttpClient())
      {
         var response = await client.GetAsync($"{url}?{parameters}");

         if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
         {
            var responseData = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
            // Process the response data as needed
            Console.WriteLine(responseData);
         }
         else
