Using APIs to Power Your Projects | Lecture 3 – Crypto Trading Simulator Series

n Lecture 3, we shift focus to making the simulator actually work. This session covers the real-world use of APIs—the connective tissue between your app and live data.

ChatGPT walks through how APIs can be used to:

Pull in live or simulated cryptocurrency data

Trigger in-app responses like trades or updates

Structure real-time systems using Python and FastAPI

📘 What’s Inside:

The role of APIs in real-time simulators

Why FastAPI is used (and how it connects to the frontend)

Setting the stage for interactive trading logic

💡 If you're learning how to build real-time tools, or how APIs empower modern apps, this lecture gives you the fundamentals from a design and implementation perspective.
