You've seen how fun it is
0:01
to build API clients with uplink.
0:04
Now it's your turn,
0:05
and we're going to have you build an API client against
0:08
an API which has several endpoints.
0:10
You've seen this service before,
0:11
over at movie_service.talkpython.fm,
0:14
and it has these three endpoints.
0:16
Recall we did this in one of our service demos previously
0:19
but we're going to take an entirely different approach
0:21
and you're going to write that from scratch.
0:23
So over here,
0:24
we've seen that we can go /api/search/something,
0:29
here we're searching for all movies that have Run
0:32
as a substring on keywords,
0:34
or we can find them by director.
0:36
Here's all of the movies written by,
0:38
or directed by James Cameron. Things like that.
0:40
So we're going to take this
0:42
and let you model it with uplink.
0:45
So the first day,
0:46
really is just mostly watching the videos
0:49
and if you've gotten this far, you're pretty much there.
0:51
So you're mostly done.
0:52
Go ahead and just create a shell project,
0:56
an empty project that has a virtual environment,
0:59
it has uplink installed,
1:01
and program.py and an api.py.
1:05
And then just you know import uplink inside the api.py,
1:07
import api inside program.py, run program.
1:09
Make sure it's all hanging together, right?
1:11
So you'll be ready to start for the next day.
