Let’s create our very own Harry Potter API. We’ll use Dynamo DB as our database and then Node and Express for our server. We’ll grab Harry Potter character data from an existing API and copy it over to our own Dynamo DB. Along the way, we’ll talk about a few different topics. - CRUD routes in Node/Express - Promise.all for optimizing async requests - Testing API endpoints in Postman Follow Brian Morrison Youtube - http://bit.ly/brianmorrisonyt My New Podcast - http://bit.ly/compressedfm The Source Code on Github - http://bit.ly/nodehpapi Harry Potter API - https://hp-api.herokuapp.com/ 00:00 - Intro 00:20 - Community Shoutouts 01:25 - Resources 02:25 - DynamoDB Setup 05:50 - Code Setup and Dependencies 06:50 - Setup CRUD Operations for Dynamo in Nodejs 17:15 - Seed the DB with HP Info 22:15 - Setup Express App 23:25 - Create CRUD Routes in Express 29:10 - Testing in Postman STAY IN TOUCH 👋 Newsletter 🗞 - https://www.jamesqquick.com/newsletter Live streams on Twitch 🖥️ - https://twitch.tv/jamesqquick Follow me on Twitter 🐦 - https://www.twitter.com/jamesqquick Compress.fm Podcast - compressed.fm QUESTIONS...?
