The prompt I used to create this project

The program should list the service names. The JSON list containing the service names and the corresponding URLs for the JSON object that include the full list of API actions can be found here: https://servicereference.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/. Each item in the list contains a “service” and “url” property. The “service” property is the name of the service and the “url” property contains the URL to the JSON object that includes the API action details.
One the list of services has been determined, the project enable me to choose a specific service via an input prompt. The input prompt should appear on the command line and should prompt for “Choose a service name:”.  
Based on the service name I choose program should iterate over  the JSON list here https://servicereference.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ and find the corresponding URL for the service I chose. The program should then retrieve the list of API actions for that service. The API actions are contain in a JSON object which contains an “Actions” list. The actions list contains a number of items where the name is “Name” and the value represents the specific API action. Return the list of API actions as an output to the command line.
