parks

Description

This project has three main code files. All three do the same thing:

• Show the user a list of states and ask user to pick up to five
• For the chosen states, display a list of national parks therein. The data is from an API call to the US National Parks Service.
• Allow the user to choose national parks whose data can be written out to JSON files. Each of the code files implements the code differently.

lab4series.py : Serial implementation

API call to NPS is made by looping over all the requested states in series

lab4threads.py : Multithreading implementation

API call is made via concurrent threads, one thread per state.

lab4series.py : Multiprocessing implementation

API call is made via parallel processes, one process per state.

Skills used

• Requests
