   The Rick and Morty API

   

   Let's use the Rick and Morty API as an example. By sending a GET request to https://rickandmortyapi.com/api/location/20 with the Accept-Encoding: gzip header, the API returned compressed data. The server's response included Content-Encoding: gzip, confirming gzip compression was applied to the JSON payload.
