weather Wise

About the Project

Weather Wise is a Backend Project that that provides weather information for a specific area. It offers current weather conditions and a five-day forecast, as well as determines the route to a desired destination and the corresponding weather conditions upon arrival. The application integrates with Weather and MapQuest APIs to retrieve data location and weather data. It then creates endpoints in a new API to serialize and send the data to the front-end application.

Learning Goals

  • Expose an API that aggregates data from multiple external APIs
  • Expose an API that requires an authentication token
  • Expose an API for CRUD functionality
  • Determine completion criteria based on the needs of other developers
  • Test both API consumption and exposure, making use of the VCR mocking tool

Versions

  • Ruby 3.1.1
  • Rails 7.0.4
