Then we will build 2 projects from scratch, working with 2 different APIs – the GitHub API and the StackOverflow API, as we are GETting their content. At the end of each section you will know how to continue exploring the API on your own and modify the data for your needs. Then we’ll go further – I’ll show you tens and hundreds more APis you will be able freely to work with.
