 ### Creating an API
 
-You've got enough at this point to make a substantial API. Usually we'd write a python script at this point but we're going to build a Django API first this time.
+You've got enough at this point to make a substantial API. Usually we'd write a python script at this point but we're going to build a Django API first this time. We'll use the people data we have above.
 
+1. Open mysite/views.py
+2. At the top of views.py add the following:
+
+    ```python hl_lines="3 3"
+    import random
+    from django.shortcuts import render
+    from django.http import JsonResponse
+    ```
+
+3. At the very bottom (below your weather function) add another function like so:
+
+    ```python
+    def api(request):
+    people = [
+        {"first name" : "Jim", "last name": "Fowler", "age": 24},
+        {"first name" : "Bob", "last name": "Jones", "age": 36},
+        {"first name" : "Alice", "last name": "Appleseed", "age": 52}
+    ]
+
+    return JsonResponse({"data": people})
+    ```
+
+    We're returning a "JsonResponse" this time. Remember how json is the current preferred way to send data over the web? Django has a formatter built in for it.
+
+4. let's add a url that points to our api endpoint. Open mysite/urls.py.
+5. Add the following:
+
+    ```python hl_lines="4 4"
+    urlpatterns = [
+        path('', views.index),
+        path('weather/', views.weather),
+        path('people/', views.api),
+    ]
+    ```
+
+6. Start your server with `python manage.py runserver`
+7. Navigate to <http://localhost:8000/people>
+8. You should see people data!
+9. Stop your server with ++ctrl+c++
+
+### Reading an API with python
+
+You have an API! Now let's read it with python. This is one of the most common applications for python in a work environment.
+
+1. First we need a pip package called `requests`. `requests` can make web requests on our behalf. Install it by typing the following in your terminal:
+
+    ```bash
+    pip install requests
+    ```
+
+    ![install_requests](img/day3/install_requests.gif)
+
+2. Let's make sure that install worked. Open the python prompt by typing `python`
+3. In your interpretor type:
+
+    ```python
+    import requests
+    requests.get("https://google.com")
+    ```
+
+    You should see a `<Response [200]>`. That means everything worked!
+
+4. Type `exit()` to exit.
+
+5. Create a new file called `api.py` in your my_website folder:
+
+    ![api](img/day3/api.gif)
+
+6. Add the following to `api.py`
+
+    ```python
+    import requests
+
+    response = requests.get("http://localhost:8000")
+    print(response.text)
+    ```
+
+7. Save with ++ctrl+s++
+8. Run your server by typing `python manage.py runserver`
+9. Open a new terminal window by click the plus icon:
+
+    ![open_terminal](img/day3/open_terminal.gif)
+
+10. Type `python api.py` and press ++enter++
+
+    ![index](img/day3/index.gif)
+
+    We got our index page! Now let's get our API call:
+
+11. Modify api.py by changing our web call to <http://localhost:8000/people>
+
+    ```python hl_lines="3 3"
+    import requests
+
+    response = requests.get("http://localhost:8000/people")
+    print(response.text)
+    ```
+
+12. Type `python api.py` and press ++enter++
+
+    ![people](img/day3/people.gif)
+
+13. Now we want to save our api response as python data. Let's add the following to `api.py`
+
+    ```python hl_lines="2 5-8"
+    import requests
+    import json
+
+    response = requests.get("http://localhost:8000/people")
+    people = response.json()["data"]
+    for person in people:
+        if person["age"] > 30:
+            print(f"{person['first name']} {person['last name']} is over 30.")
+    ```
+
+14. Type `python api.py` and press ++enter++
+
+    ![read_api](img/day3/read_api.gif)
+
+    You've just done one of the most important things in Python programming: used the results of an api call to do something!
+
+15. Click the terminal dropdown and switch back to the terminal running your web server:
+
+    ![switch_term](img/day3/switch_term.gif)
+
+16. Stop your server with ++ctrl+c++
+17. Type `python api.py` and press ++enter++. Notice how you get an error that says "failed to establish new connection"? If requests can't connect to the web server you'll see this error. Remember it!
