Mashup project

This project is open-ended!

• AJAX demos
• inspiration?

Requirements

• Build a site that uses data from at least one external API in an interesting, interactive way. (80%)
• HTML validation (using the Nu HTML Checker) must pass. (10%)
• JavaScript linting (using the configured JSHint) must pass. (10%)
• Replace this README with a description of the project.

Extra credit

Too easy?

• Build in an object-oriented way (10%)
• Add fancy interactivity/animations (10%)

If you do either of these, please let Aidan know so he can take a look.

Tips

• 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.
• 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.
• Do not commit the client_secret (or anything else from an API that says "token" or "secret"), as a hacker could use this to make requests on behalf of you.

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/authorization (e.g. OAuth) - at least for the endpoints that you want to use - so that you don't need a server.
• 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.
