HTTP Lab: Public API Client

In this lab you will build a small command-line client that fetches data from a real public API and processes the results.

The API

You will use JSONPlaceholder — a free, public REST API for testing and prototyping.

Endpoint: https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos?userId=1

This returns a JSON array of todo items for user 1. Each item has this shape:

Your Tasks

1. Fetch the todos for userId=1 using urllib.request.urlopen
2. Parse the JSON response body using the json module
3. Filter the list to only completed todos (where "completed": true)
4. Print each completed todo's title, one per line
5. Print a summary showing the count of completed todos vs total todos

Expected Output Format

Your output must include lines like:

Requirements

• Use urllib.request (do not use the requests library)
• Use the json module to parse the response
• Handle potential errors with try/except

Hints

• urllib.request.urlopen(url).read() returns bytes — decode with .decode('utf-8')
• json.loads(text) parses the JSON string into a Python list of dicts
• Filter with a list comprehension: [t for t in todos if t['completed']]
• Use len() to count items
