Phase 1 Project

For my project I decided to make a CLI that gives information on marvel and dc characters. I chose this idea because I’m a huge fan of Marvel and DC . The api that I found had DC, Marvel, Star Wars, and a couple other franchises. So what it does once it starts is it gives a random 5 characters from this API and numbers them. The user then give the input 1 to 5 and it retrieves the name, identity, alter egos, birthplace, and their alignment(if they are good or bad).

The main thing that I struggled with on this project was working with both a scraper and an API. The API I was working with made it difficult because to access the info of each character I needed to scrape the id of each character from the glossary on the API page that had all 731 characters. From there I was able to use the id number from the character the user selected to use the api link and retrieve the data I want to show.

Even though I had some difficulty making this it really helped me understand everything we learned. It was really fun and frustrating but I’m glad I got it done. It was such a relief once I finished and now I have a better understanding on object oriented programming.
