This varies a lot. I had a take-home for a data engineer role which just asked to get and parse an xml and post a cleaned, limited json of the data. Took ~1hr. Perfect for an initial threshold.

That's fair. Usually they involve writing some sort of miniature application. Setup of the project will usually be in the range of an hour.
