00:00:08,886 --> 00:00:11,780
Hello and welcome to the project for
course three.

2
00:00:11,780 --> 00:00:15,470
In this project, you'll be making
what's called an API mash-up.

3
00:00:15,470 --> 00:00:18,830
You'll be getting and
using data from two different APIs.

4
00:00:18,830 --> 00:00:20,500
So ultimately in this project,

5
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,910
you will get data from two
different places on the Internet.

6
00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:29,560
Process all of that data in a step by
step way, and achieve a new result,

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,580
that comes from getting the data
from two different places.

8
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:37,406
Just like other APIs you've examined
before in this course, you will need to

9
00:00:37,406 --> 00:00:42,023
read and understand the documentation
that goes with each of these APIs.

10
00:00:42,023 --> 00:00:46,125
And your goal of reading and
understanding that documentation,

11
00:00:46,125 --> 00:00:51,122
will be to pull out the information from
the documentation that you need in order

12
00:00:51,122 --> 00:00:53,000
to make a request to each API.

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,143
So you might need to read through some
stuff that's complicated, or includes

14
00:00:57,143 --> 00:01:01,600
things that you don't necessarily need,
or words that you haven't heard before,

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,265
just to find those pieces of information
that you really want to find.

16
00:01:05,265 --> 00:01:09,496
Like for example,
the base URL for the API request.

17
00:01:09,496 --> 00:01:12,725
You'll want to keep in mind,
as you work on this project,

18
00:01:12,725 --> 00:01:17,374
what you know already about building
functions, because that's something else

19
00:01:17,374 --> 00:01:22,118
that you'll do throughout this process of
building a result and processing data.

20
00:01:22,118 --> 00:01:26,258
You'll want to remember that as you
work on this project, you'll be using

21
00:01:26,258 --> 00:01:30,932
the special tools that we've built in this
specialization, to allow you to get and

22
00:01:30,932 --> 00:01:34,640
cache data from the Internet,
and retrieve data from the cache.

23
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,990
As you work through each step,
make sure to take each slowly.

24
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:44,880
Think carefully about what exactly it is
you want to achieve at a given moment.

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,246
Make your plan in words, you've
probably heard me say this before, and

26
00:01:49,246 --> 00:01:51,618
then translate those words into code.

27
00:01:51,618 --> 00:01:56,388
And that will make the process of
building up a result from these brand

28
00:01:56,388 --> 00:01:57,959
new APIs much easier.

29
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:02,766
And make it seem much more like the other
things that you have already done in code

30
00:02:02,766 --> 00:02:03,357
before.

31
00:02:03,357 --> 00:02:07,330
This is a type of program,
getting data from two different places and

32
00:02:07,330 --> 00:02:09,055
doing something new with it.

33
00:02:09,055 --> 00:02:12,856
It is useful in all kinds of situations,
in all kinds of work, and

34
00:02:12,856 --> 00:02:15,081
all kinds of different disciplines.

35
00:02:15,081 --> 00:02:17,560
I wish you a lot of luck,
and I hope you have fun.
