Python code for a Hangman game, incorporating API Functionality

Certainly! Below is an example of a Hangman game in Python that incorporates API functionality to fetch a random word from an online dictionary API - api.dictionaryapi.dev

import requests
import string

# Function to get a random word from the API
def get_random_word():
    response = requests.get('https://api.dictionaryapi.dev/api/v2/entries/en/random')
    if response.status_code == 200:
        word = response.json()[0]['word']
        return word.upper()
    else:
        print("Error: Failed to fetch a random word")
        return None

# Function to display the masked word
def display_word(word, guessed_letters):
    masked_word = ''
    for letter in word:
        if letter in guessed_letters:
            masked_word += letter + ' '
        else:
            masked_word += '_ '
    return masked_word

# Function to play Hangman
def play_hangman():
    print("Welcome to Hangman!")
    word_to_guess = get_random_word()

    if word_to_guess:
        guessed_letters = []
        attempts = 6
        while attempts > 0:
            print("\n" + display_word(word_to_guess, guessed_letters))
            print(f"Attempts left: {attempts}")
            guess = input("Guess a letter: ").upper()

            if len(guess) == 1 and guess.isalpha():
                if guess in guessed_letters:
                    print("You've already guessed that letter!")
                elif guess in word_to_guess:
                    guessed_letters.append(guess)
                    if set(guessed_letters) == set(word_to_guess):
                        print(f"Congratulations! You guessed the word: {word_to_guess}")
                        break
                else:
                    attempts -= 1
                    print("Incorrect guess!")
            else:
                print("Please enter a single alphabetic character.")

        if attempts == 0:
            print("Sorry, you're out of attempts. The word was:", word_to_guess)

# Start the game

This Hangman game utilizes the requests library to interact with the api.dictionaryapi.dev API to fetch a random English word for the game. The player has to guess the word by inputting letters, and they have limited attempts to guess the word correctly.
