Make a GET request and decode the JSON response

import "http/requests" import "experimental/json" import "array"  response = requests.get(url: "https://api.agify.io", params: ["name": ["nathaniel"]])  // api.agify.io returns JSON with the form // // { // name: string, // age: number, // count: number, // } // // Define a data variable that parses the JSON response body into a Flux record. data = json.parse(data: response.body)  // Use array.from() to construct a table with one row containing our response data. // We do not care about the count so only include name and age. array.from(rows: [{name: data.name, age: data.age}])
