Now that we know how to use streams and serialization,
-
0:07
we can use our new knowledge to send and receive data on the Internet.
-
0:12
This is where serialization is especially helpful,
-
0:15
because we can take our objects, package them up, and send them to somewhere else.
-
0:19
We can also ask for the data on rapid by deserializing and
-
0:23
then use it in our program.
-

There are lots of APIs available on the web for us to play around with.
-
0:29
In this series of videos,
-
0:31
we'll be using a couple of web APIs from Microsoft's Cognitive Services.
-
0:36
Most web APIs these days require some kind of authentication to prevent people from
-
0:40
firing off millions of requests and bogging down their servers.
-
0:44
So, to follow along, you'll need to sign up for
-
0:46
a free Microsoft account if you haven't already.
-
0:49
Then we'll need to get API keys for use with our web requests.

0:53
Instructions to do this are included in the notes.
