1. Tik Tok is one service I use on my phone. A feature is new posts load automatically when I keep scrolling. Tik tok makes a GET request to Tik Tok users asking for the next set of posts. the requests includes headers with different parameterss then the server responds with 200 OK and sends back a JSON containing data. When I post, the app sends a POST request with the post ID and the servers responds confirming it was registered. 2. This lab was pretty fun! I think a bit differently on how apps and websites are created and used. I am more aware of how much data is being sent back and forth for a server to work successfully! In the end, it was really cool to be able to just enter a number for the riddle and guess the riddle.
