This is the repository containing example implementations of API usage for Lab 5 for CPRG-218.
This repository demonstrates two ways you could integrate an API to add interactivity to your web page, as well as an enhancement which adds additional interactivity if desired.
-
Using javascript, fetch an API of your choice.
-
Using javascript and HTML, choose one of the following options to implement:
- Select at least three data endpoints and render the content in a flexible card layout.
- Add a dropdown input (
<select>) and a button element to the page, allowing users to change the API endpoint (for example, city names for a weather API), and update the content on the page when the user clicks the button.
-
Use CSS to style the content and create a responsive layout.
Recommended APIs you can use:
- https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/ (free without an account or API key)
- https://weatherstack.com/ (sign up for a free account to get an API key)
- https://newsapi.org/ (sign up for a free account to get an API key)
