This had to be one of the most emotional projects I have ever done in my life. I finally finished my first API project for Flat Iron School, and let me tell you it was amazing, so let me tell you about it. The way it works is by taking in an API(Jikan), which is the API I used to pull different genres of animes depending on what the input of the user was. So far I have a total of 6 genres users can choose from it goes from Action, Cars, Adventure, Comedy, Dementia, and Demons. Once the user inputs his preferred choice, numbers 1-20 show up with the titles that output the top 20 animes trending today. This was something I thought of to later grow into an algorithm that can be implemented in a cite that grabs all of your animes watched and picks the highest percentage anime that corresponds to your liking. One of my toughest challenges in this project was building it from scratch. Just starting from a blank made me nervous in the beginning but quickly got the hang of it. Another big challenge I ran into was when the program initiated and it asked for a genre it was able to run until I asked for the synopsis and it would put out the same synopsis for each of the 20 animes therefore, I quickly debugged my code and found out I had not specified the level or synopsis in the object that I wanted to get into. Not many anime platforms do this and it does get boring if you don't have anything to watch so I'm going to later grow this project into something that can be amazing and pick the best anime for you.
