Asked over 1 year ago in API by Rossella Rita

where i can find apikey

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.02 seconds

To find an API key, you usually need to visit the website or platform that offers the API you want to use. The process can vary depending on the specific API provider, but you typically need to sign up for an account, create a project or application, and then generate an API key within that project.

For example, if you want to use the Google Maps API, you can find information on how to obtain an API key in the Google Cloud Platform documentation: Google Maps Platform API Key.

Please note that each API provider may have different requirements and guidelines for obtaining an API key. It's always recommended to consult the official documentation or support channels provided by the API provider for accurate and up-to-date instructions on obtaining an API key.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how do i locate api of a company

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 3.64 seconds

To locate the API of a company you can follow these steps:

  1. Go to their official website and check if they have a developer's section
  2. Look for a link to an API documentation or API reference
  3. If they don't have a section specifically for developers, try searching their website for 'API'
  4. If the company does not provide an API, you won't be able to locate it

Once you find the API documentation, you can read about the different endpoints and methods available. The documentation should explain how to use the API, what data it returns and how to authenticate your API requests.

Example: Let's say you are trying to find the API of Stripe, a popular payment gateway platform. If you visit their website https://stripe.com/ and scroll down to the footer, you can see a link to 'Developers'. Clicking on that link takes you to their Developer Center page: https://stripe.com/developers. Here, you can see the documentation for the Stripe API, including various endpoints and examples on how to use those endpoints.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how to use a library

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 4.81 seconds

Using a library depends on the programming language you are working with and the specific library you want to use. However, in general terms, to use a library you need to follow these steps:

  1. Install the library: you can usually install a library using a package manager. For example, if you are working with Python, you can use pip to install the library.

Example using pip for Python:

python
Copy code
pip install library_name
  1. Import the library in your code: once installed, you need to import the library at the beginning of your code. This will make the library's functionality available in your code.

Example using Python:

python
Copy code
import library_name
  1. Use the library: the library's documentation usually provides instructions on how to use the library's functions or classes. Use the imported functions or classes to accomplish the task you need.

Example using Python:

python
Copy code
import library_name result = library_name.function_name(argument)

Note that these are general steps and not all libraries are installed or used in the same way. Be sure to check the library's documentation for specific instructions.

👩‍💻 Technical question

Explain JSDocs

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 6.31 seconds

JSDoc is a particular kind of code comment used in JavaScript to document your code by adding annotations.

These annotations follow a specific syntax, and you can use them to specify the role of each variable, function, or method in your code, its input parameters, output, and any exceptions that may arise.

Syntax-wise, JSDoc annotations usually start with a /** and end with a */.

Here is an example of how to use JSDocs on a simple JavaScript function:

javascript
Copy code
/** * This is a function that adds two numbers * @param {number} numOne - The first number to add * @param {number} numTwo - The second number to add * @returns {number} - The sum of numOne and numTwo */ function add(numOne, numTwo) { return numOne + numTwo; }

In this example, we are using JSDoc to document a function called add. We've used the @param annotation to specify what each input parameter represents, and the @returns annotation to signify that the function will return a number. This kind of annotation can make the code easier to read and understand, particularly for other developers who need to work with it.

👩‍💻 Technical question

Can you explain JSDocs

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.03 seconds

JSDoc is a markup syntax used to annotate JavaScript source code files. It describes the application programming interface (API) for libraries and applications. Its purpose is to help the developer to clearly document the code and to get better IDE support. JSDoc comments start with /** and end with */. Here is a simple example:

javascript
Copy code
/** * @param {number} num1 - The first number to be added. * @param {number} num2 - The second number to be added. * @returns {number} The result of adding the two input numbers. */ function add(num1, num2) { return num1 + num2; }

In this example, we are documenting a function add() which takes two parameters (num1 and num2) and returns their sum. The JSDoc comments describe the type and meaning of each parameter and the return value. By using JSDoc, we can generate documentation (e.g. HTML, Markdown, PDF) from the source code itself, without the need for external tools. You can find more information on JSDoc syntax, tags, and examples here: https://jsdoc.app/

how to change thickness of font CSS

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 2.89 seconds

To change the thickness of a font in CSS, you can use the font-weight property. This property is used to specify the weight (or thickness) of the font to be used. Common weight values are normal, bold, bolder, and lighter. You can also specify numeric weight values ranging from 100 to 900.

Here is an example code snippet in CSS:

css
Copy code
p { font-weight: bold; /* Changes the font thickness to bold */ }

For more information, you can check out the Mozilla Developer Network documentation on the font-weight property here.

In Bootstrap, you can use the class text-* to create a responsive font size that changes according to the device width.

html
Copy code
<p class="text-small text-md-normal text-lg-xlarge">Link here</p>

This example creates a small font size for mobile viewports and extra-large size for tablet/desktop viewports. The breakpoints and the associated classes are:

Screen size Class name
Extra small text-xs
Small text-sm
Medium text-md
Large text-lg
Extra large text-xl

👩‍💻 Technical question

Asked 2 years ago in CSS by Ilaria

I want to use the transition property of CSS with setAttribute inside an addEventListener to make a transition when the src attribute of an image element is changed. But the transition doesn't work.

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.98 seconds

To make sure a transition is applied to a changed property, you need to add the CSS property transition to the initial state of the element. You can use it together with the setAttribute method inside the addEventListener like this:

css
Copy code
img { transition: all 1s; }
javascript
Copy code
let img = document.querySelector("img"); img.addEventListener("click", function() { img.setAttribute("src", "image2.jpg"); });

The transition property should also be set on the same element as the setAttribute to make sure the transition is applied to the changed property. For more information, see MDN's documentation on the transition property.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how do I make my list one single line from left to right without any bullets

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 10.53 seconds

Using JavaScript, you can use .reduce() to create a comma-separated string of the contents of your list.

For example, given the array [1,2,3,4]:

javascript
Copy code
const arr = [1,2,3,4]; const output = arr.reduce((accum, curr) => { return accum + curr + "," }, "")

This will create the string "1,2,3,4,". You can then remove the trailing comma if desired.

More information on the .reduce() method can be found in the JavaScript documentation.

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 15.12 seconds

You can adjust the brightness of an image using the filter property in CSS. You can specify the degree from 0% (original) to 100% (completely black).

For example, if you want the image to appear darker, specify the brightness parameter as follows:

css
Copy code
img { filter: brightness(80%); }

In the above example, the brightness of the image has been reduced to 80% of its original value.

More information and detailed examples can be found in the MDN web documentation: CSS Filter.

👩‍💻 Technical question

Asked 2 years ago in API by Mariia

How I can use API

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 24.14 seconds

API stands for Application Programming Interface. You can use an API to access data and/or features of a program or service. Here are the basic steps to use an API:

  1. Find an API: You can find APIs by searching websites such as Programmable Web, or you can go directly to the source and search on the provider's website.

  2. Read the Documentation: The API documentation will contain the information you need to properly make requests to the API. Read the documentation carefully to understand what the API can do and when it's appropriate to use it.

  3. Create an Account: In some cases you may need to create an account with the provider in order to use the API.

  4. Generate an Access Token: Most APIs will require you to generate an access token or an API key in order to access the data. The access token is used to authenticate you and grant you access to the data.

  5. Make a Request: Once you have an access token, you can use it to make a request to the API. The exact process for making a request will vary by API and language, so refer to the documentation to find out how to do this.

  6. Process Response: After making a request, you will receive a response from the API. The response format will vary by API and language, so you will likely need to parse it in order to get the data you are looking for. Refer to the documentation to find out how the response will be formatted and how to parse it.

👩‍💻 Technical question

how get part of an array

🤖 SheCodes Athena says:

Answered in 7.89 seconds

In most programming languages, you can use the built-in slice() function to get part of an array. For example, in JavaScript you can write the following code to get the first 3 elements of an array arr:

javascript
Copy code
var arrSlice = arr.slice(0, 3);

The first parameter to slice() is the start index of the part of the array you are trying to get (in this case 0), and the second parameter is the end index of the part (in this case 3). For more details, you can refer to the MDN documentation.

Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.

So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩‍💻🤝💻
