Reading Data from APIs with Python

Data from the real world is rarely presented in a way that is perfect for analysis – as such, knowing how to properly extract and clean data is therefore an integral skill for all data scientists. This course will walk you through how to use Python to retrieve and parse data through the powerful tools provided by APIs.

In this course, you will learn how to:

Understand what APIs, JSON files and XML files are, and how to use them
Make URL requests to retrieve data
Retrieve, format and parse JSON data using the JSON library, and XML data using the BeautifulSoup library
Write XML and JSON data to a CSV file
Read XML and JSON data from a local file

…and more!

 

Frameworks and tools covered: Python 3.6, Anaconda 5.2, Jupyter Notebook 5.5, Beautiful Soup 4.6
