Offered By: Scrimba via Coursera
Course Description
Overview
This course is your gateway to mastering APIs! It breaks down the essentials of how APIs work, how they interact with clients and servers, and how you can use them to fetch and display data in your web applications using JavaScript.
You'll learn the technical concepts and get hands-on practice by building a fun, interactive project - the BoredBot! As well as programming your bot to fetch random activity suggestions from the Bored API, you will also structure it using HTML and style it with CSS.
Along the way, you'll ensure the bot is accessible and user-friendly. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of APIs, asynchronous JavaScript, and fetch, and real-world project experience that will demonstrate your skills to potential employers or clients.
