Nice video. Could you please share more videos about data analysis.

Very informative, thank you!
Basically the request format can be used on any website to extract contact (a form of scraping)?

helpful, thanks--I'm wondering if you're missing curly brackets in your final car example under "tips"

Hi Joe, Thanks for your video! For the song example, the output I got was a string with tag instead of JSON text. Any idea why that is the case? I have looked into the latest documentation but it seems like nothing has changed. Thanks.

I'm a Python newbie trying to figure out some terrible vendor documentation for an API. Thanks for the video, Joe. I have a question.
How do you know that r.json; r.text; r.url; etc are available; are they in the API documentation? Or are they a standard part of an assigned variable ('r') when making an API call via requests.

You didn't talk about requests.head() at all but it was in your intro. Please do a tutorial on requests.head() as well.

Hey Joe,


I'm new to Python and have been looking for ways to convert a list of company names into their URL's from code that automates a web-search. I like how descriptive your video is in regards to "requests"! I'm guessing I could use a version of your code displayed here to get the Urls for a file with only company names? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Is there any benefit in using the JSON library, or could you just use the JSON method in Requests? I.e., r.json()?

[ramreddy]

What if the response is encoded...???
U can't convert that string to Json....

I get 403 from a specific API. I already tried with header, but no success.
