Wikipedia API

Wikipedia API

HTML
CSS
JavaScript ES6
Axios

We all have heard about Wikipedia and used it multiple times, right? Then why not create a search page for Wikipedia articles? Their API documentation is quite complex, but we will manage!

The Wikipedia API Challenge is built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6) and uses Axios to communicate with the REST API. We will also use async/await and use the try...catch statement

What will you build?
