In this project, you will practice accessing an API. You'll see how an API request is made, and see how data is returned from an API

Objectives

• Demonstrate usage of APIs
• Understand how an API request is sent.
• Understand the request and response for an API.

Explorer Mode

• [] Choose one of the APIs from this list that does not request "AUTH" (Authorization) since an API that requires authorization is a little more difficult to use when first learning. I have also selected some sample APIs that will be good choices:

API	Documentation
Dogs	https://dog.ceo/dog-api/
Studio Ghibli https://ghibliapi.herokuapp.com/#tag/Films
Open Brewery	https://www.openbrewerydb.org/
Recipes	http://www.recipepuppy.com/about/api/
Deck of Cards!	http://deckofcardsapi.com/
Geocode	https://geocode.xyz/api
Jobs	https://jobs.github.com/api
Lyrics	https://lyricsovh.docs.apiary.io/#reference
Quotes	https://pprathameshmore.github.io/QuoteGarden/
SpaceX	https://docs.spacexdata.com/?version=latest
Jokes	https://github.com/15Dkatz/official_joke_api

• [x] After choosing your API read the documentation.
• [x] Use the Insomnia tool to make a few queries of the API.
• [x] Capture screenshots from Insomnia showing your request and the response output.
• [x] Attach those screenshots to your homework assignment.
• [x] For one response, show a screenshot with the "Header" tab displayed.
• [x] For this response, find a few headers and describe what they do. NOTE: If the header starts with X- it is a custom header and likely is documented by your API. Other headers are more standard and can be google searched.

Adventure Mode

Read the documentation on this API: https://one-list-api.herokuapp.com/

Choose your access token from your first and last name. For example jane-doe or ron-swanson.

• [ ] Use Insomnia to insert 6 items in the list associated with your access token. Attach screenshots of the request and results screen.
• [ ] Use Insomnia to mark 2 of these items complete. Attach screenshots of the request and result screen.
• [ ] Use Insomnia to delete 1 of the non-complete items. Attach screenshots of the request and result screen.

Epic Mode

• [ ] Investigate using C#'s HttpClient class to make requests to any of the APIs you used in Adventure mode.
• [ ] Create a console app that makes requests and prints the results. Submit the URL to the Github repository of this console app.

Header types Cache-Control: used to specify browser caching policies in both client requests and server requests. These policies include how the resource is cached, where it's cached and its max-age before expiring. Accept-Ranges: a marker used by the server to show its support of partial requests. The browser may try to resume an interrupted download rather than start it from the beginning again. CF-Cache-Status: This means the site is using Cloudflare. The value in this header is DYNAMIC. This means that the resource is not cached by default and there is no resources to cache it.
