This week we dive into the back end code of my Flatiron Capstone project. Here we can see the choices that I made and I’ll also talk about the consequences of them. Furthermore, I also want to offer thoughts on how I would tackle them now, what I would change, and what actually wasn’t tooContinue reading “Pawns: Back end analysis and thoughts”

I went into the process of signing up for a developer account and managing their documentation to fetch the desired data. This blog post will be similar, with its focus on the Weather Channel, and it’s main purpose is to lookContinue reading “Using 3rd Party API’s (JS): the Weather Channel”

Today we will explore AccuWeather’s setup, which is very detailed and fairly straightforward.Continue reading “Using 3rd party API’s (JS): AccuWeather”

Sometimes we need to source multiple API’s to get the same type of information and display it with the same coded format. Unfortunately, all API’s aren’t born equal and when we try to fit them into a formatted output, it just won’t work. In this case, it’s because API’s are not always structured the same.Continue reading “AccuWeather vs the Weather Channel. API’s and their JSON outputs”
