1. The goal was to research and develop a concept of a public API while also providing a recommendation for how it can be used.
2. Link: https://misdemo.temple.edu/tuh00470/jeopardy/
3. Recommendation: The jeopardy question API can be used through various applications as a possible trivia game. The API would pick random from 156,800 different jeopardy questions, and a user can attempt to answer them by comparing what they typed and the answer in the question’s data which was already generated.

This app can be used to quickly and easily display info about any Movie or TV show. Easier, quicker, and more effective at finding the information you actually care about and less of it that you don’t. No ads or unnecessary elements to the page. By simply typing in the title of a movie or TV show, the site contacts the OMDb API by placing your query into the .getJSON URL and returns relevant information based on the keywords you entered including: cast, plot, ratings, and awards.

Recommendation: I recommend that Lichess API be used to run large scale statistics by accessing their public database and using their provided information about their users to draw meaningful conclusions about the online-chess playing community.

The API a chose is a comprehensive, constantly updating array of astronauts currently in space. This API does not have a significant amount of business value, but it does however have entertainment value. I think that it does have a good amount of entertainment value. First of all, it tells people the exact names of people who are in space. I told a friend about this and she was shocked, because she didn’t even know people were in space right now. She was also impressed by the fact that this list is constantly updating.  Overall, it has entertainment value because it gives people the opportunity to see something that they don’t have ready access to.

Goals: My goal was to create a working API for entertainment use.

Results: I made an API that results in Chuck Norris Quotes.

Recommendation: My API could be used for entertainment purpose, if someone wanted to see different quotes by Chuck Norris.

In this project, I have connected an API source for the Periodic Elements. I then created 12 buttons to sub-categorize the elements into their respective groups. The primary button will display all the elements in a table with their atomic number, name, mass, and element group. The smaller buttons, each named for the element group they represent, display a new table that only shows the element group. I did this by using functions that would be run when each button was clicked. The functions themselves used the $.getJSON method, then a for loop to run through the entire API, then within that I used an if statement to make sure that it was only displaying the element group it needed to. I did this to create a functional and easy interface to check which elements belong to which group at the click of a button.

The goal of this project was to implement a web API that we haven’t already worked on and use it to create a useful application. During the process of creating this site, I learned a lot about implementing a web API from an unfamiliar source. It’s one thing to do it with the in class materials, but it becomes more difficult using other people’s APIs. The site I made uses API-NBA, a source of NBA statistics and history. Using API-NBA’s game history, the site is able to list the NBA games played on a given day.

For this project, I have researched and implemented a free API that provides developers with real time stock data for a specific company they would like to obtain information about.

The API that I’ve researched can be located at ‘https://www.alphavantage.co/documentation/’. For this specific task, I have decided to use the “Quote Endpoint” API. With this API, it provides real time stock information to the user that returns as JSON output. For example, one can make a blog or website about a specific stock trading company or about financial news and implement this API to provide users who are reading the blog/website with up to date information on how the stock is performing right on the website itself without having to going off the website. Additionally, this API can be used to pull any publicly traded company’s stock information (not just Microsoft). Therefore, it can be tailored to meet anyone’s needs when developing their web application. Furthermore, this API is very flexible as it can be used with multiple programming languages and easily be implemented. All in all, this free simple API can provide developers an opportunity to put useful and effective data on their website

The goal of this project was to use my knowledge of API’s to create a way for people to learn about cats. Each time the user clicks the ‘Get Facts’  button, they will be presented with a new fact added to a list of prior requests. To clear the list, the user can simply click the ‘Clear Facts’ button. This project allowed me to become more confident in my knowledge of APIs and learn about there usefulness outside of a classroom setting.

Created an API to generate a fun fact about a number between 1-100 when entered by a user.
