In this part of the lesson, students will learn how to connect their applications to an external API, leveraging Copilot and Microsoft Kiota, a client generator responsible for sending HTTP requests (GET/POST), handle responses, and parse JSON data.

Check Lesson 1.

This section focuses on taking the data from the API and presenting it in a clean, user-friendly interface. Students will learn how to connect the API client to NextJS and create a UI that shows weather forecasts.

Check Lesson 2.

If time allows, students can run the Forecast API locally. Clone the project onto your machine and follow the instructions in the API README to start the server and test it with your client app.
