from a pre-covid era...
A concert lookup web application, using Last.fm Tastemaker and Ticketmasters Eventfinder API's, jQuery, vanilla CSS, HTML. You supply the artist and optionally the city you want and Concertfinder will return a list of related acts as dictate by Last.fm, and their upcoming concerts on Ticketmaster.
While learning about RESTful APIs and back-end development I wanted to use my front-end and javascript skills as a springboard. As a first step to making my own APIs I used all sorts of public and developer APIs to understand industry standard procedures when it comes to setting up, documenting and making applications using data fetched from working endpoints.
Eventually I found a couple of related APIs with Ticketmaster and Last.fm and utilized them together to create a useful application that will take a user input and recommend similar acts using Last.fm's Tastemaker API and upon expanding the link will present tour dates as found by Ticketmaster's Eventfinder API. Was a lot of fun getting this working and showing it off to friends for the first time!
