Web App – City Weather Map

Web App – City Weather Map

Another weather app built as part of my experimentation with Modern JavaScript, API calls through a back-end script written in PHP, which is being used as middleware. This project taught me a lot of things in terms of how to manage sensitive data, such as API keys with the help of back-end scripts that can relay the data received from an API call. For weather data, I have used Accuweather API. One of the challenges I faced was managing the number of API calls with a free account. The App makes API calls to Accuweather cautiously to maintain low call volume.
