The goal of this class project was to display our understanding of API usage with the tools we have learned in class. The result was a web page that pulled a random picture of a cat from a free API that I found online. The project can be found in the class server (http://misdemo.temple.edu/tuk11829/cat_api/). I learned how to find an API and use its content to display an image, this can be applied to infinite situations since APIs are extremely important to MIS. Using click events, $.getJSON, and numerous other bits of code I was able to pull together and compile a page that did the desired task. APIs are all over the place and have been used to make life easier for almost everything that is found on the internet.
