Find Interview Questions for Cin7

Right Answer:
OAuth is an open standard for access delegation commonly used for token-based authentication and authorization. It allows third-party applications to access a user's resources without sharing their credentials.

In API authentication, OAuth works by having the user authorize the application to access their data. The process involves:

1. The user is redirected to an authorization server to log in and grant permission.
2. The authorization server issues an access token to the application.
3. The application uses this access token to make API requests on behalf of the user.
4. The API validates the token and grants access to the requested resources.

Right Answer:
HTTP methods are standardized request types used in APIs to perform actions on resources. The main methods are:

1. **GET**: Retrieve data from a server.
2. **POST**: Send data to a server to create a new resource.
3. **PUT**: Update an existing resource on the server.
4. **DELETE**: Remove a resource from the server.
5. **PATCH**: Apply partial modifications to a resource.

These methods define the action to be performed on the specified resource in the API.

Right Answer:
An API endpoint is a specific URL or URI where an API can be accessed by a client to perform operations like retrieving or sending data. It defines the location and method (such as GET, POST) for interacting with the API.

Right Answer:
API authentication is the process of verifying the identity of a user or application trying to access an API. Common methods include:

1. **API Keys**: Unique keys provided to users to access the API.
2. **Basic Authentication**: Uses a username and password encoded in Base64.
3. **OAuth**: A token-based authentication method that allows users to grant limited access to their resources without sharing credentials.
4. **JWT (JSON Web Tokens)**: A compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties, often used for stateless authentication.
5. **HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code)**: Uses a secret key to create a hash of the request, ensuring data integrity and authenticity.

Right Answer:
API testing is the process of verifying that an application programming interface (API) functions as expected, ensuring it meets the requirements for functionality, reliability, performance, and security. Tools that can be used for API testing include Postman, SoapUI, JMeter, RestAssured, and Swagger.

Right Answer:
The purpose of feature engineering in data analysis is to create, modify, or select variables (features) that improve the performance of machine learning models by making the data more relevant and informative for the analysis.

Right Answer:
A pivot table is a data processing tool that summarizes and analyzes data in a spreadsheet, like Excel. You use it by selecting your data range, then inserting a pivot table, and dragging fields into rows, columns, values, and filters to organize and summarize the data as needed.

Right Answer:
To handle missing data in a dataset, you can use the following methods:

1. **Remove Rows/Columns**: Delete rows or columns with missing values if they are not significant.
2. **Imputation**: Fill in missing values using techniques like mean, median, mode, or more advanced methods like KNN or regression.
3. **Flagging**: Create a new column to indicate missing values for analysis.
4. **Predictive Modeling**: Use algorithms to predict and fill in missing values based on other data.
5. **Leave as Is**: In some cases, you may choose to leave missing values if they are meaningful for analysis.
