API Personal Dashboard

This repository contains the final project (Project 4) from the "Learn to Work with APIs" Specialization on Coursera.
The project is a Personal Dashboard built with JavaScript and APIs, allowing the user to display real-time data such as cryptocurrency prices, weather, background images, and current time.

📚 About the Specialization

Although this repository includes only the final project, it is part of a broader course where I learned to:

• Make HTTP requests to external APIs.
• Fetch, display, and process JSON data.
• Build dynamic web pages with asynchronous JavaScript.
• Use promises and async/await for cleaner asynchronous code.
• Integrate multiple APIs into a single responsive application.

The specialization included multiple API-based projects, and this dashboard is the culmination of all the skills learned.

🚀 Project Overview

The API Personal Dashboard integrates several APIs to display:

• Cryptocurrency Data (Dogecoin) using the CoinGecko API.
• Random Nature Backgrounds using the Unsplash API.
• Local Weather using the OpenWeather API.
• Current Local Time with automatic updates.

🔹 Features

• Live cryptocurrency price tracking.
• Daily random background image.
• Real-time local weather information.
• Clock that updates every minute.
• Error handling with fallback data.
