A. First we'll start the server. Do this by opening terminal, cd-ing into the folder you clones, and running the app.py file (python app.py
).
B. In a web browser, go to the homepage and click around to understand what's already provided for you.
C. Look at the movies()
function in app.py
. In order to use the information from the JSON string, we need to turn it into a python dictionary. Take a look at slide 22 to see how to use json.loads.
D. Now we need to pass the dictionary into render_template
. On line 23 of app.py
, your code should look something like: return render_template('movie.html', movie=PYTHON_DICTIONARY_HERE)
.
E. When you visit http://127.0.0.1:5000/movie you should be able to see the title of the movie and an image of the movie. But notice that the release date is not shown! Look at movie.html
and fix it to show the movie's release date.
Change the /tv_shows
function and use the json_string
variable to show now a list of the tv shows (you will have to change it from a JSON string to python dict like you did before). Visiting http://127.0.0.1:5000/tv_shows should show you a list of TV shows that have name, language, and genres for the show
The documentation for thefirst API you will be working with can be found here: https://dog.ceo/dog-api/documentation/
If you visit https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/list/all a list of all dog breeds is returned. Try this in your browser! (Chrome/firefox)
Using the requests
library (as shown in slide 25)
Do a GET request to the link above to get all dog breeds and return them
to them as a list to the user as a bullet pointed list
Calling https://dog.ceo/api/breed/BREED_NAME_HERE_INSTEAD/images/random
With a provided returns an image, Example:
Create a new route and html page that has a text box, when the user write a name of a breed it returns an image using the API url above
