My first project linked with an external API.

Introduction

This was my phase 1 project at Moringa school whereby i built a single page application using Html and CSS for the front end and JavaScript that communicated with a public API which i chose.The learning goals of this project were:

  • Design feature across a front end.

  • The website should have no redirects.

  • Integrate JavaScript and an external website.

The development process

We had to come up with our own project ideas so i thought of a problem that had to be solved. There are many weather websites but they all give limited information in terms of weather forecasting. I had to look for an API that had the data i wanted thus i chose OPENWEATHER.ORG [( https://openweathermap.org/)] that displayed the :

  • Location

  • Temperature

  • Humidity

  • Wind speed

Testing and Deployment

This part was not hard at all as i deployed my site using Vercel.

Conclusion

I really learnt a lot that would have been hard to grasp without practicing it.
