api_key = 'your_api_key_here' # Replace 'your_api_key_here' with your actual API key
url = f'https://100088.pythonanywhere.com/api/v1/ppp/public/{api_key}' # Construct the API request URL
data = { # Prepare the data in dictionary format
"base_currency": "United States dollar",
"base_price": "100",
"base_country": "Germany",
"target_country": "United States",
"target_currency": "British pound"
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data) # Send a POST request to the API endpoint with the data
