peek-app

Avoid crowded places by checking (taking a "peek") before heading out. I built both web/front end, chat bot, and API interfaces for Peek.

How It Works

• I built peek on populartimes, Google Maps, and Google Places APIs.
• When a user logs on to the app, they are prompted for their destination.
• A prediction of how crowded the location is expected to be at the time the prompt was entered is then displayed.
• The prediction is computed relative to the expected minimum and maximum number of people (This information is obtained using the populartimes API).

Tools Used

• Populartimes API
• Flask, Flask-Restful
• Google Places API, Google Maps API
• Google Cloud App Engine
• Javascript/HTML/CSS
• jQuery

New Things I learned During This Project

• Building an API with Flask and Flask-Restful
• Using jQuery for making HTTP requests.
