CSC 131 Semester Project We use a back end of Node.js and HTML on the front end, while implementing a client-server architecture. We used AJAX to dynamically update our HTML page with information that was obtained through our RESTful API
All of the following endpoints are accessible via https://oscar-movie-api.herokuapp.com/
There are three collection endpoints available:
GET /movies/categories/:category/year/:year_film
Will return all of the nominees for a given category in a given year
GET /movies/categories/:category
Will return all nominees of a given category in the history of the Oscars
GET /movies/year/:year_film
Will return all of the nominees in a given year
Examples:
GET /movies/categories/best%20picture/year/1984

There is one singleton resource endpoint available:
