RickAndMorty API Integration

This project is a simple integration connector (client) for the RickAndMorty API (https://rickandmortyapi.com/) - test task solution. It fetches data related to characters, locations, and episodes from the RickAndMorty API and performs specified tasks.

Objectives:

1. Fetch Entire API Data: Retrieve the entire dataset from the API for the entities:

   • Character
   • Location
   • Episode

2. JSON File Output: The fetched data is stored in distinct JSON files.

3. JSON Data Structure: The structure for each JSON file is:

   • Id: A generated unique GUID.
   • Metadata: The name extracted from the respective entity.
   • RawData: The comprehensive fetched JSON data presented as a dictionary.

Upon the program's successful execution, it will display:

1. Names of episodes aired between 2017 and 2021 that encompass more than three characters.
2. Locations that are exclusively mentioned in episodes with odd numbers (e.g., episodes 1, 3, 9 irrespective of their season).
