A hands-on tutorial demonstrating how to make HTTP requests and parse JSON in Haskell using the wreq and aeson libraries.

This is a hands on session where we learn how to make HTTP calls in Haskell using the "wreq" library in order to call REST APIs. The example we use is the "LibreTranslate" Translation API, which allows us to translate text to different languages. We go over JSON encoding/decoding (using the "aeson" library), and at the end do a little bit of concurrency. This video is suitable for beginner and intermediate level Haskell developers. I try to explain everything that is done as simply as possible.
