Building a COVID and IMDB Data Dashboard with Fetch API

(Application Programming Interface) APIs are used to enable different applications to communicate and exchange information with one another. Two popular APIs that are widely used are the COVID-19 API and the IMDB API.

The COVID-19 API provides real-time data on the coronavirus pandemic, including global and country-specific statistics on cases, deaths, and recoveries. On the other hand, the IMDB API provides data on movies, TV shows, and other contents, including detail, ratings, reviews, and other data.

Using the COVID-19 API

The COVID-19 API is a free-to-use API that provides data on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The API is available through a RESTful interface and provides access to data in JSON format.

The COVID-19 API is a free-to-use API that provides data on the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The API is available through a RESTful interface and provides access to data in JSON format.

Here is an example of how to retrieve global COVID-19 data using the COVID-19 API in JavaScript:

fetch('https://api.covid19api.com/summary')
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data.Global));

This code makes a GET request to the COVID-19 API and retrieves the global summary data. The response is then converted to JSON format, and the Global object is logged to the console.

Using the IMDB API

The IMDB API provides data on movies, TV shows, and other entertainment content. The API is available through a RESTful interface and provides access to data in JSON format.

To use the IMDB API, you will first need to register and obtain an API key. Once you have an API key, you can make requests to the API using HTTP requests, such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

Here is an example of how to retrieve data on a specific movie using the IMDB API:

import requests

url = "https://imdb-api.com/en/API/SearchMovie/k_1234567/Titanic"

response = requests.get(url)

data = response.json()

print(data['results'][0])

This code makes a GET request to the IMDB API and retrieves information on the movie “Titanic.” The response is then converted to JSON format, and the first result is printed to the console.
