mini-project-I

Welcome to your first Mini Project. This repo contains instructions what to do during the project. Enjoy!!

Transport of London

During this mini-project, we will work with the API from Transport of London. The main goal of this project is to practice different HTTP requests and extracting values from complex lists and nested dictionaries.

Instruction

Register for the API service to obtain an Application ID and Key. We should append these values as parameters app_id and app_key into each URL when sending the request.

?app_id={app_id}&app_key={app_key} should be appended to every URL in all HTTP requests. However, this API works without the app_id and app_key in case we can't register for some reason.

Instruction

Once you have your credentials ready, go to the file mini-project-I.ipynb and follow the instruction in there.

Movies (stretch)

Instruction

Register for the API service to obtain the API Key. We will have to append this value as parameter api_key into each URL when sending the request.

Once we are registered we can check the documentation of this API here.

In this part of the project, we will look for information about our favorite movie and actors. We will learn something about each other tomorrow when we present results.

Presentation

There is dedicated time tomorrow to show the results to mentors and our peers. We encourage you to spend some time at the end of today to start think about that and to:

• polish your code
• think about how do you want to show the results (share screen with notebook, slides...)
