Use a REST API

In this assignment, we will be creating a simple webpage/web app that will display data returned from an open web API.

Steps

1. Select an open (no authentication required) API. - A few of my favorites are the Star Wars API and the PokeAPI (More below)
2. Create a website.
3. Connect the website to the API and display data from the API.
4. Add interactivity. (2 items) - Things like click for more information, and search are good ways to allow user interactivity.

Helpful Hints

• The interactivity can be simple. Things like pagination (a next button), or view more detail, work great!
• Keep the HTML website simple, use a html framework and/or template. This is about using javascript to fetch (cough.. Cough.. hint..) data.
