Linking  a website with  an  external  API

Linking a website with an external API

Introduction

This was my phase 1 project at Flatiron 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 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

weather API 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 learned a lot that would have been hard to grasp without practicing it.
