In the results, you can see that the URL no longer contains a query string, and in the JSON returned,
there is a form entry with the data you sent.

Another option when using the requests.get function is the timeout parameter. Without this parameter,
the requests module waits indefinitely for an answer, which can be a problem if you have made a
mistake. This can also result in very slow server speeds and you don’t want the application to spend too
much time waiting. You can set a limit before raising an error. Httpbin can help you to simulate this,
with the delay service in the dynamic data menu. To call it, add /delay/<value in seconds> to the URL.
For example:
import requests
