0 Hey guys, welcome to day 35 1

of 100 Days of Code. It's Angela here again 2

and today we're going to be learning all about API keys, 3

authentication, environment variables, 4

and also how to send SMS using Python. 5

It's going to be a pretty packed day and we're going to be learning a whole 6

bunch of things. 7

And the goal is the look at even more advanced ways of using APIs and 8

looking at how we can authenticate ourselves with an API provider so that we can 9

get access to more precious data. Now we're also going 10

to be looking at how we can use an API like Twilio to send SMS messages to 11

ourselves so that we can get an alert wherever we are. 12

And finally, 13

we're going to be taking a look at what environment variables are in association 14

with how they're used for safely storing API keys. 15

What all of this knowledge is going to amount to is to build a rain alert 16

application. 17

So we're going to be writing Python code that is going to send us a text message 18

in the morning, just before we head out, telling us to bring an umbrella 19

if it's going to rain in the day. 20

So this way we don't have to check the weather. 21

We know that our trusty application is always going to alert us via an SMS 22

message if we need to bring an umbrella before we leave home. 23

So that's the goal. And if you head over to the next lesson, 24

we'll get started building our application and learning about API 25

authentication.
