Recs4Parks

Inspiration

My partner and I came into this project not knowing much about parks and camping, so we decided to make a website that would help inform us and others about the parks that exist in this country.

What it does

The website offers a view of all the national parks of the state the user enters and also offers more detailed insights into each park.

How we built it

We used Flask to create a web application that used API calls from the National Park Service to get the data for our website.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating APIs into a flask application was something we were both unfamiliar with.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to get a good-looking website done with API calls within a few hours in the software we were not too comfortable with

What we learned

We learned how to integrate APIs into a flask web app

What's next Recs4Parks

We need to improve and optimize our park-finding algorithim to provide better options corresponding to user proximity
