I am working on this project and wanted to make it on my own VS CODE before I put it on line. I can download all the data but the images. They are protected against hotlinking. Is there a way to overrule that restriction? I can download all the images if I want to but I like to do it within the project.
You should not hotlink, in general. It’s pretty rude as you’re basically stealing bandwidth.
There are places where you can host images yourself.
you can use the images from the API, fetch them, do not download them
But what is the meaning of this lesson then?
You did not link to the project, so its hard for me to check and say.
That works only when you use the fCC site but you cannot work the same way on your own site. What do fCC try to learn me if I cannot do it on my own site or local sysem?
it is teaching you to use APIs
You can do other projects with other APIs for your own practice
or go to the lab following the workshop to practice more
That’s strange. They learn me how to fetch data from an other site but it is impossible to do that realley from an other site and you may do it from other sites but not from yours. I really don’t understand why you teach things that you do not want do be done.
that API is only there to be used as a teaching device, and it happens that it includes image links that can only be linked in the freecodecamp domain.
you can find other APIs if you want to practice
or you can use that one without using the images
The reasen that I want do do it local is that I want to add my comments to the code to read later what I was doing there. If I add comments on the fCC site they will all be deleted. I dont want to write code without comments.
you can do that, you are not going to be able to have the images in a live page tho
