from cafex_api import request_builder
from cafex_api import response_parser_json

# Build an API request
request = request_builder.RequestBuilder().get(url="https://api.example.com/users")

# Send the request and get the response
response = request.send()

# Parse the JSON response
parsed_response = response_parser_json.ParseJsonData().get_dict(response.text)

# Validate the response data
assert parsed_response["status"] == "success"
