Inspiration

We all consume different media from all over the internet, so we wanted to consolidate all of it on one webpage

What it does

Displays the top five stories from the New York Times and the top 5 videos from Youtube.

How we built it

Used Javascript to access and display data from NY Times and Youtube by calling their respective APIs. html/css to design and style the webpage. Flask as backend server to make API calls.

Challenges we ran into

Learning how to make the API calls from Javascript and displaying their data onto our webpage. Learning Flask

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning Javascript to make our webpage interactive and to incorporate API into our webpage. Using flask as a backend framework to make API calls and merging it with our client-side code in javascript

What we learned

Javascript and API calls for web apps, bootstrap to format our webpage, using flask as a server-side framework

What's next for Morning News Brief

Use flask backend to call the API keys so that we are not just limited to running our webpage locally.
