☄️ RightChoice.ai Assignment - User Data Fetcher Script

🌍 Overview

This Python Script is coded to fetch user data from a public API (https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users), process the JSON response, and display key user details. It also handles API errors and empty responses.

💻 Prerequisites

To run this script, you must have the following installed.

1️⃣ Python 3.6+
2️⃣ The requests library (for making GET request).

🛠️ Installation

1️⃣ Clone the repository or save fetchData.py file to your local machine
2️⃣ Install the required Dependency (requests) using pip:

pip install requests

🧠 Usage

The script supports two primary modes of operation: the main task (displaying all users) and the optional bonus task (filtering by city).

1️⃣ Main Task (Default Run)

To run the script and display the Name, Username, Email, and City for all fetched users,

python fetchData.py

2️⃣ Optional Bonus: Filter by City

The script contains an optional filter that only prints users whose city name begins with a specific letter (case-insensitive).

To activate this feature, you must uncomment the line in the if __name__ == "__main__": block of the user_data_fetcher.py file:

In user_data_fetcher.py:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Run the main function. Uncomment the line below to apply 
    # the optional bonus filter for cities starting with 'S'.
    
    fetch_and_display_users(filter_city_start='S')  # <-- UNCOMMENT THIS LINE
    
    # Run without the filter
    # fetch_and_display_users()                      # <-- COMMENT OUT THIS LINE

If you uncomment the line fetch_and_display_users(filter_city_start='S') and run the script, it will only display users with cities starting with 'S' (e.g., South River, Sydney, etc.).
