My short 3 minute screencast is going to show students how to:
- Make a web API request in Python
- Decode JSON that is returned from the request
- Turn data into simple CSV that could then be exported into Excel, Google Spreadsheet, etc.
I plan to use a short script that will query the Nike+ developer API (https://developer.nike.com/) and turn a users Nike+ fitness data into CSV.
My main concern is I might really only have time for the first two bullet points. However, I think turning data into CSV is something that is very easy and common in the scientific field. Therefore, it seems worthwhile to try to fit it in.
Thoughts?
