Mashup project

This project is open-ended! Requirements:

  • Build a site that uses data from at least one external API in an interesting, interactive way.
  • Replace this README with a description of the project.
  • You are welcome to use any 3rd-party libraries/frameworks – just load them from a CDN (e.g. cdnjs), or put them under the vendor/ folder.

The JS code should be non-trivial. That being said... start simple! (Just get the data to show up on the page.) No server-side coding is required, but feel free to create a backend in whatever language if you like, if you need one.

Finding an API

A couple things to look for in an API (or at least the endpoints you're using) for this project:

  • Make sure it doesn't require authentication (e.g. OAuth).
    • You need a server to do this.
  • If the API doesn't support cross-domain requests (JSONP or CORS), you will need to use JSONProxy.

Here is a list of API suggestions.

V1

First pass.

V2

Iterate!

  • Refactor
  • Add a new feature
