In this project, you will practice accessing an API. You'll see how an API request is made, and see how data is returned from an API

Objectives

• Demonstrate usage of APIs
• Understand how an API request is sent.
• Understand the request and response for an API.

Explorer Mode

• [] Choose one of the APIs from this list that does not request "AUTH" (Authorization) since an API that requires authorization is a little more difficult to use when first learning. I have also selected some sample APIs that will be good choices:

API	Documentation
Dogs	https://dog.ceo/dog-api/
Studio Ghibli https://ghibliapi.herokuapp.com/#tag/Films
Open Brewery	https://www.openbrewerydb.org/
Recipes	http://www.recipepuppy.com/about/api/
Deck of Cards!	http://deckofcardsapi.com/
Geocode	https://geocode.xyz/api
Jobs	https://jobs.github.com/api
Lyrics	https://lyricsovh.docs.apiary.io/#reference
Quotes	https://pprathameshmore.github.io/QuoteGarden/
SpaceX	https://docs.spacexdata.com/?version=latest
Jokes	https://github.com/15Dkatz/official_joke_api

• [x] After choosing your API read the documentation.
• [x] Use the Insomnia tool to make a few queries of the API.
• [x] Capture screenshots from Insomnia showing your request and the response output.
• [x] Attach those screenshots to your homework assignment.
• [x] For one response, show a screenshot with the "Header" tab displayed.
• [x] For this response, find a few headers and describe what they do. NOTE: If the header starts with X- it is a custom header and likely is documented by your API. Other headers are more standard and can be google searched.

Adventure Mode

Read the documentation on this API: https://one-list-api.herokuapp.com/

Choose your access token from your first and last name. For example jane-doe or ron-swanson.

• [ ] Use Insomnia to insert 6 items in the list associated with your access token. Attach screenshots of the request and results screen.
• [ ] Use Insomnia to mark 2 of these items complete. Attach screenshots of the request and result screen.
• [ ] Use Insomnia to delete 1 of the non-complete items. Attach screenshots of the request and result screen.

Epic Mode

• [ ] Investigate using C#'s HttpClient class to make requests to any of the APIs you used in Adventure mode.
• [ ] Create a console app that makes requests and prints the results. Submit the URL to the Github repository of this console app.

Spacex-api-cache : system for storing and retrieving network requests and their responses.

cf-request-id: a unique request id for every incoming HTTP request to router.

alt-svc: this header is used to show alternative services through which the same resource can be reached. An internet standard that allows specific resources to be available at a separate network location.
