Integrating External APIs

Lesson description

APIs — which help you interact with outside data — are one of the most important aspects of building a dynamic web app. In this lesson, you'll learn all about how APIs operate, from protocols, HTTP methods, using AJAX to send requests, and parsing the JSON that gets returned. Then, you'll use your new knowledge to make an API request for weather data from a web service, then display that data in your app. Finally, you'll make your app more dynamic by letting your users search for the weather in any city around the world.
