Even though I had used Postman and API automation almost 3 years back and haven't used them recently since I am into Sales/Solutions Engineering roles. I was able to answer all questions correctly. God knows what interviewer understood or had in mind.

from flask import Flask, jsonify, request

app = Flask(__name__)

# Sample data
users = [
    {"id": 1, "name": "John Doe"},
    {"id": 2, "name": "Jane Doe"}
]

# GET endpoint - Fetch all users
@app.route('/users', methods=['GET'])
def get_users():
    return jsonify(users)

# GET endpoint - Fetch a user by ID
@app.route('/users/', methods=['GET'])
def get_user(user_id):
    user = next((u for u in users if u["id"] == user_id), None)
    return jsonify(user) if user else jsonify({"error": "User not found"}), 404

# POST endpoint - Add a new user
@app.route('/users', methods=['POST'])
def add_user():
    new_user = request.json  # Get data from request body
    users.append(new_user)
    return jsonify({"message": "User added successfully", "user": new_user}), 201
