Sweather Weather API

Context

Sweater Weather was a solo mod 3 project, with learning outcomes around sending/receiving data with third-party APIs, and authentication/authorization basics.

I built a Rails API-only backend with endpoints exposing data relating to current and forecasted weather at destinations provided by the user.

Focus Areas

• Fetch data from multiple external APIs
• exposing API endpoints requiring an authentication token.
