Description

The Home application uses APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that pull in the latest rates, snapshot figures on mortgage rates and interest, and relevant housing market news. By working together, these APIs create a more cohesive snapshot of the property and mortgage landscape for everyone involved.

Acceptance Criteria

Use Bootstrap.
Be deployed to GitHub Pages.
Be interactive (in other words, accept and respond to user input).
Use at least two server-side APIsLinks to an external site..
Does not use alerts, confirms, or prompts (use modals).
Use client-side storage to store persistent data.
Be responsive.
Have a polished UI.
Have a clean repository that meets quality coding standards (file structure, naming conventions, best practices for class/id naming conventions, indentation, quality comments, and so on).
Have a quality README (including a unique name, description, technologies used, screenshot, and link to the deployed application).

Page Screen Capture

Installation

The Home application is engineered to streamline the process of acquiring real estate data by harnessing the power of JavaScript and third-party APIs. Upon page load, users interact with a form to input mortgage-related information, which triggers a seamless API request to a mortgage calculator service. This functionality is implemented using asynchronous JavaScript calls, ensuring that the most recent mortgage rates and calculations are fetched without disrupting the user experience. The app leverages HTTP GET requests with appropriate headers to authenticate and retrieve data in real-time. In addition, the application integrates with a property listing API, allowing users to search for properties based on specific locations. The data fetched includes image URLs, property types, prices, and other relevant details, all formatted neatly in British Pounds using the International Number Format for consistency and readability.
