As a developer, I need to use two APIs so that I can retrieve interesting data for this app. #2

This is a research task. We have access to all APIs on this page: https://global-warming.org

We should use one (or more) of these, plus an API from somewhere else.

Requirements:

For our landing page, we'll use the arctic sea ice API from global-warming.org: https://global-warming.org/api/arctic-api (We aren't doing anything fancier than displaying the info on the page.)

For our calculations, we'll use:

  1. the World Bank Indicators API to get the GDP of the user's country: http://api.worldbank.org/v2/country/
  2. NASA's Exoplanet Archive API to get possible candidate worlds: https://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/TAP/sync?query=

For our stretch goal of allowing private individuals with unfair access to resources to make their own calculations, we'll use the Rich Assholes API: https://richassholes.ml
