In this assignment, you will explore different types of APIs, understand their use cases, and implement API requests using Python. You will use the Requests library to interact with web APIs, analyze the retrieved data, and demonstrate your understanding of authentication methods for securing API access.

Requirements:

$1.$ Research and select at least two different types of APIs from different domains $($e$.$g$.,$ social media, e$-$commerce, finance, mapping$).$ It is recommended to use free, accessible APIs. An online search will reveal a variety of free to use APIs; select some that interest you and research their documentation to implement them in this assignment.

$2.$ Develop a Python script to make API requests using the Requests library. Your script should:

$-$ Fetch data from your selected APIs.

$-$ Parse the JSON or XML response returned by the API.

$-$ Extract relevant information from the response and display it in a readable format.

$3.$ Implement error handling in your script to gracefully handle situations such as failed API requests or invalid responses.

$4.$ Experiment with different API endpoints and parameters to retrieve various types of data $($e$.$g$.,$ user profiles, product listings, financial data, map coordinates$).$

$5.$ Document your Python script with comments to explain each API, along with a link to the API's documentation.

Hints:

$-$ Some APIs require payment plans to use, especially after a set number of calls. Be sure to select a free, open source API for this assignment, and review the terms of the APIs use.

$-$ Authentication is an important aspect for APIs, but can be tricky due to licensing and

$-$ Review the Python Requests library on how to quickly send requests and receive responses to execute API calls.

Example Output:

As an example, if you selected a weather API, your output could look something this when executed:

Current Weather in New York, NY:

$-$ Temperature: $\backslash (20^\{\backslash$circ$\}\backslash$mathrm$\{$C$\}\backslash )$

$-$ Weather Condition: Clear

$-$ Humidity: $65\backslash \%$
