Github Finder [Part 2] - Fetching Profile Data

The video tutorial guides viewers through setting up an event listener on an input field to capture user input and make HTTP requests to the GitHub API. It covers creating a JavaScript class to handle API requests, including setting up client ID and secret. The tutorial demonstrates fetching user data and repositories, processing the API response, and handling errors. Finally, it integrates the fetched data into the UI, ensuring dynamic updates based on user input.
