At a Glance

In this guided project, you will be introduced to the concept of Application Program Interface (API) ), which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other.

About
You will get familiar and practice with two API examples: Random User and Fruitvice APIs. You will learn how to load and extract some information from these APIs. Additionally, you can practice working with any other API of your choice. An example, with guided steps on how to do it, is provided in this project.

A Look at the Project Ahead

Once you have completed this project, you'll be able to:

Load and use RandomUser API, using `RandomUser()` Python library
Load and use Fruitvice API, using `requests` Python library
Load and use any other, free, open-source API

What You'll Need
This course uses Python and JupyterLabs. Although these skills are recommended prerequisites, no prior experience is required as this Guided Project is designed for complete beginners.
