F1 Circuit Mapper

  • James Ryan

This was a two day pair project, where we were tasked with picking an existing API and implementing it into our own website. My partner and I decided to go with an F1 motorsports API, as we felt the data provided had lots of potential for great visuals. We utilised the capabilities of a REST API (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE) to create a fully functioning website that visually displayed all historical F1 Grand Prix and their circuits. The most challenging part of the project was implementing the MapGL component, which displayed all of the circuits. Once we had tackled that, the project was a very enjoyable experience.
