Coding With Python :: Learn API Basics to Grab Data with Python This is a basic introduction to using APIs. APIs are the "glue" that keep a lot of web applications running and thriving. Without APIs much of the internet services you love might not even exist! APIs are easy way to connect with other websites & web services to use their data to make your site or application even better. This simple tutorial gives you the basics of how you can access this data and use it. If you want to know if a website has an api, just search "Facebook API" or "Twitter API" or "Foursquare API" on google. Some APIs are easy to use (like Locu's API which we use in this video) some are more complicated (Facebook's API is more complicated than Locu's). More about APIs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Api Code from the video: http://pastebin.com/tFeFvbXp If you want to learn more about using APIs with Django, learn at http://CodingForEntrepreneurs.com for just $25/month. We apply what we learn here into a Django web application in the GeoLocator project. The Try Django Tutorial Series is designed to help you get used to using Django in building a basic landing page (also known as splash page or MVP landing page) so you can collect data from potential users. Collecting this data will prove as verification (or validation) that your project is worth building. Furthermore, we also show you how to implement a Paypal Button so you can also accept payments. Django is awesome and very simple to get started. Step-by-step tutorials are to help you understand the workflow, get you started doing something real, then it is our goal to have you asking questions... "Why did I do X?" or "How would I do Y?" These are questions you wouldn't know to ask otherwise. Questions, after all, lead to answers.

  11. This was phenomenal! Thank you very much
  12. np.apply along axis? What is the use of this statement? and how to use it?
  13. I'm new to Python, and I was doing codes on Java before. I can see that Python is simpler than Java, however I can't find a Python equivalent to this website of Java: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/. I could find all codes, classes and packages in one place and stay updated with the changes. The docs provided on Python website is too pedantic, and not as well organized as docs.oracle.com. So, how do you guys actually find Python codes, classes or packages for specific tasks without something like docs.oracle.com?
  14. Great video! Anything for Yelp APIs?
  15. Your tutorials are insanely great. Thank you. Do you have any videos that go over how to take data like what you got here or like what you did with YellowPages and put it in a CSV file?
  16. Wonderful tutorial it's helping me a lot with my research...
    I was wondering if you could explain how to extract this data to cvs file for data analysis with R.
    Once again thanks so much
  17. Mind blown. Great video on many different levels. So much info in 20 minutes. Thank you.
