Abhicoder03 commented 2 years ago

Hi, I want to learn about api. I just want you to assign me a basic task of api under hacktoberfest 2021. In this way i can learn about api as well as under hacktoberfest. Could you please do this.

vedangj044 commented 2 years ago

Hello, Yeah this project can help you get started with APIs. In this project you can choose any API and make a contribution based on it. So, it's better than me assigning you a task. Go to https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and choose any API. Once you make a choose, call it in your react component.

Detailed instruction are mentioned in the README, you can ping me on Gitter or discord.

If you need an introduction to APIs read here https://github.com/vedangj044/just-calling-random-api#whats-an-api

What sort of APIs should I add? When should I make PR?

vedangj044 commented 2 years ago

You should open a PR in October. You can add any API. It should be something you would like to show us. Like random Advice API, random cat pictures API, etc. Once you contribute it would be visible on the main page ( https://vedangj044.github.io/just-calling-random-api/ ), so choose something which you would like people to see on the main page. You can find a list of APIs you can use here - https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis

Can we use APIs other than the ones listed on "https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis"?

vedangj044 commented 2 years ago

Sure, any API would work, you can even create your own API.

But keep in mind that you should have proper rights to use it and it must be HTTPS.

varunsh17 commented 2 years ago

Will you be making more issues coz I also wanted to contribute , as I have learned API and want to test over ..

vedangj044 commented 2 years ago

Well, all contribution to this project are same but with different APIs. You can pick up any API and make a contribution. There are no particular issues in this project, all you have to do is create a react component and call you API here. Go through the README and you would know what to do. If you still feel stuck hop on to Gitter or discord.

And as you said u are just starting with APIs so this can be a good starting point and would boost your confidence.

Do we need to be assigned for working with APIs, or anyone can raise their PR.

vedangj044 commented 2 years ago

Anyone can raise a PR. :tada:

anjaligoswami commented 2 years ago

Hello, @vedangj044 I would like to work on this issue.

vedangj044 commented 2 years ago

Sure @anjaligoswami, there is no issue in particular. All you have to do is call a public API In your react component and contribute. I would ask you to go through the README, it has step-wise instruction on how to contribute.

N-Deepika commented 2 years ago

Hey! Can I take this issue?

vedangj044 commented 2 years ago

@N-Deepika Yes absolutely. You are free to choose any API you like, and use it in your react component. Example - I chose the Random Quotes API, so I created a new component that calls the Random Quote API and displayed the response. Once done I created a Pull Request.

You can do the same with some other API. You will find step-by-step instructions on how to contribute in the README ( https://github.com/vedangj044/just-calling-random-api/blob/main/README.md )

@MuditWadhwa awesome. You can contribute by creating a component and calling any public API through it. This issue is just to guide new comers. I would suggest you to go through the README ( https://github.com/vedangj044/just-calling-random-api/blob/main/README.md ), where you will find step wise instructions on how to make a PR and complete hacktoberfest.
