Choose your own API Adventure

In this assignment, you'll build a front end for an API of your choice

Objectives

• Learn about APIs and fetch
• Learn about API documentation (some are great, and some are terrible)
• Creating and designing your own features for a web app

Requirements

We're going to build a front end for an API of your choice. Choose one from this list

NOTE You'll need to choose one with Auth being No since we haven't covered apiKeys or OAuth authentication yet. We will go over this on Thursday

NOTE You'll also need to check to see if the API will work from your browser. You can do a quick check by making a small app-app, doing a cURL request.
