Introduction:

For the course Tool Development in my 2nd year at DAE Howest, For the C# part we had to make a tool which retrieves information from an online API service.
I choose the Rick And Morty API.

Why does this match the DAE/GD profile?
The Rick And Morty serie is really popular within the Gaming & Comics community. This API includes all the Rick And Morty character including images, and with their associated episodes. These episodes are then linked with another json request. Each Episodes also includes all associated characters.
