A very simple example python program to read (imagined) high scores and post high scores from/to a Web API.

read_and_post_hiscores.py

# Quickstart: https://2.python-requests.org/en/master/user/quickstart/
import requests  # For HTTP requests (GETting and POSTing stuff)
import random  # we'll generate some random data for speed

# you can look at the scores on the server here:
# https://femi-hiscores.glitch.me/scores

# You can make your OWN server by remixing my one.  Start here:
# https://glitch.com/~femi-hiscores

# server_base = "http://127.0.0.1:3001"
server_base = "https://femi-hiscores.glitch.me/"

sample_usernames = ['Grace', 'Neill', 'Nicholas', 'Nishka', 'Imran',
                    'Femi', 'Mutsa', 'Thomas', 'Alex', 'Oscar']

def get_scores():
    URL = server_base + "/scores"
    response = requests.get(url=URL)
    return response.json()

def post_new_score(score, username):
    URL = server_base + "/scores"
    dictToPost = {'score': score, 'username': username}
    response = requests.post(url=URL, json=dictToPost)
    data = response.json()
    return data

print("Current scores")
print(get_scores())

# WARNING: Do NOT spam my server by sending hundreds of requests, please!

print("Posting a few random scores...")
for i in range(3):
    username = random.choice(sample_usernames)
    score = random.randint(1, 999)
    response = post_new_score(score, username)
    print(response)
