Choose your own API Adventure

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

The demo app from class: https://github.com/ambethia/ghibli-demo

Objectives

• Reinforce component architecture in React
• Reinforce reading of 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 or apiKey since we haven't covered OAuth authentication yet.

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 create-react-app, doing an axios.get or fetch of one API URL and see if you get browser errors.
