Course Overview

Working with APIs is for anyone who want to learn how apps and websites connect to outside services, data sources, and AI platforms through code. The course introduces APIs in practical, beginner-friendly terms, showing students how requests and responses work, how to read API documentation, and how to understand common requirements such as authentication, rate limits, and response formats.

Students will learn how to make API calls, process the data that comes back, handle common errors, and display API results in a simple user interface. By the end of the course, students will also know how to connect an app to an AI API and use the response to add an AI-powered feature to a project.

Course Benefits
