THE FBI FIFTY MOST WANTED

Welcome to the FBI 50 Most Wanted CLI!

This project was created by two students attending Flatiron School's software engineering immersive as their module one project. In this application, we redesign the FBI's most wanted database to create an application that allows our user, an FBI agent, to read, analyze, input, update and remove information about fugitives and their crimes in various cities across the US. To get started, we seed our application with real-time data from the FBI's open API, allowing our application access to current information about the FBI's most wanted criminals.

Models and Users

The user in our application is an FBI agent. In future versions of our program, the functionality could be expanded to include citizens who might want to use the application to access crime data or report information and tips to the FBI regarding fugitives that are at large.

Our application utilizes the following models:

• Fugitive: a fugitive has many crimes and has many cities through crimes
• City: a city can have many crimes and has many fugitives through crimes
• Crime: crimes belongs to a city and fugitive
