iterate numerous movies on a return to select from, not just one
what did we learn
How to copy API response as an object, assign it a variable and call it during development
In that process, had to learn how to export/import JavaScript files using JS modules (not hard, but if syntax is incorrect, it won't work)
what challenges
Different schedules
Merge conflicts
Google API is really complex. Also, it offers constraints on the usage of API to prevent abuse of a public key.
Google API free has limited traffic per day
The OMDB API doesn't help much if the user spells the movie name incorrectly
Not all movies have an official trailer on YT, and sometimes the search pulls up other related videos
Keeping the really cool looking stuff but making it responsive and incorporating it into the Bootstrap framework
what successes
Pulling both API's and being able to toggle between real API data and dummy data
Got more comfortable with the Git process, especially when it came to fixing merge conflicts
demo notes
We used the OMDB API to pull metadata about the movie, and it included in the response the imdbID. We used this ID along with "offical+movie+trailer" to hit the Google API for the YT search
Need to cite Ama's source and Raied's source on the code they used for starter
