API Requests in Python | Intro to Coding in Python
DATA! Data is at the heart of so many programs/products. Most of the time you can actually get the data you want through some kind of API. Some are paid, but a lot of them are free!
An API is an Application Programming Interface. Basically it allows one program to ask another program for something or to do something.
There are APIs for sports, videos games, weather, basically anything you can think of. So if you have a cool idea for a program you'd like to make, but not the data, you might be able to get it for free!
