Thanks

I have written this code : public class AnimalLocator {
public static String getAnimalNameById(Integer i) {
Http http = new Http();
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
request.setEndpoint('https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com/animals'+i);
request.setMethod('GET');
HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
//if the request is successful, parse the JSON response
if(response.getStatusCode()==200){
Map<String,Object> result = (Map<String,Object>)JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody());
Map<String,Object> animal = (Map<String, Object>) result.get('animal');
return string.valueOf(animal.get('name'));
}else{
return null;
}
}
}
and I am getting this error
Hi @Sravya Kummari ,
whenever we work with REST API we need to allow salesforce to hit that API, for that the endpoint URL should be added in remote site settings;
go to Setup -> Remote site settings:- add a new remote site setting name it anything but URL should be https://th-apex-http-callout.herokuapp.com . then you can check the challenge

No Remote Site named ‘animals_http’ was found with the correct Name, URL, and Description.Apex REST Callouts last step error
Hi Trailhead community,
I'm working on the Apex REST Callouts challenge, and I’ve completed the exercise as instructed. Here are the key details:
However, when I validate the challenge, I get the following error message:
"Executing the 'getAnimalNameById' method on 'AnimalLocator' failed. Make sure the method exists with the name 'getAnimalNameById', is public and static, accepts an Integer, and returns a String."
I’ve double-checked the method name, signature, and access modifiers, but the error persists.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Are there any specific things I should look into to resolve this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
(Here is a print:)
Hi all,
The instructions say to create a test class that uses a mock class to mock the callout.
I think that the mock class uses a static resource to mock the callout and does the callout to the main class. Does it then return a StaticResourceCalloutMock object to the test, with the return value from the mock callout set as the body of the mock object?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
Hi, @Matt Doyle
When you're writing a test class for an Apex REST callout, you need to use a mock class to simulate the HTTP response.
The purpose of the mock class is to avoid making real HTTP callouts during testing, which is not allowed in test contexts.
For example:
@isTest
global class AnimalLocatorMock implements HttpCalloutMock {
global HTTPResponse respond(HTTPRequest request) {
HttpResponse response = new HttpResponse();
response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
response.setBody('{"animal":{"id":1,"name":"chicken","eats":"chicken food","says":"cluck cluck"}}');
response.setStatusCode(200);
return response;
}
}
Also too, make sure if you activated Setup Remote site settings
