Working with APIs in Python [For Your Data Science Project]

[@jaggyjut]

After a lot of search, I finally found this tutorial which shows how to get data from an API and then convert the json into a dataframe. This is pure gold. Thank you

[@stratascratch]

You wouldn't have thought it would take so long to find a video that does? =) glad you found this channel.

[@jaggyjut]

@@stratascratch there are tutorial on how to use API and then different tutorials on converting json to data frame. So far haven’t found a tutorial showing everything end to end.😀

[@purvilimbachiya1501]

what is the next step after importing a database??

[@vijaykumarcn8425]

How about applying read_json method ?

[@Thuvu5]

Hi Nate, thank you for this great video! Just a quick tip, if any wants to grab the video data for multiple channel IDs at once you can directly use this method (from KZbin API doc): request = youtube.channels().list( part='snippet,contentDetails,statistics', id=','.join(channel_ids)) response = request.execute() where channel_ids is a list of channel ids (e.g ['id_1', 'id_2', 'id_3''] and youtube = build('youtube', 'v3', developerKey=api_key)

[@farhansarguroh8680]

Thanks a ton

[@johnwig285]

OMG you're here anyway thank youuu thu vu 🥺

[@joaofernandes6349]

The best part is how you show in a easy way how to do the whole process and then you clean up the code according to good practices. This was really good, thank you!

[@prateek2159]

Hey Nate, your videos are just too good. I love how your channel is so dedicated towards real word data science. By the way I noticed that you started a video series, "For your Data Science Project" and I really want you to continue making videos for this particular series because there's literally no one on KZbin with such guidance on DS projects and I have been looking for one since a very long time because I have my placements just after 12 months and I really want to make a full stack data science project. Thank you.

[@adityaahire2743]

I cannot comprehend right words to express how great this video is and all the content that you create. For all those who dream, plan or wish to make great career in data science you are simply an angel. The most important part which I want to request is a complete playlist of all the components that you mentioned in the : "The one and only one Data Science Project you need". This video covers the data collection part through API...and if other components are covered and all together that playlist would become the gold mine for aspirants. I hope you get time from your busy schedule to consider my humble request... Thanks a lot for all your videos which keep enlightening the Data Science aspirants.🙏

[@stratascratch]

Definitely will create this playlist or at least write an article that will provide you with resources for each part of this project journey. Thanks for the suggest. It's a great idea.

[@alfatmiuzma]

Next highly expected topic can be .. setting up cloud to store the data. We can have a playlist of videos on topics Nate mentioned in the end to end data science project 😊😊

[@Networkprofessor]

I thought my video speed was on max, but it wasn't; there is just a lot of information being presented. Very comprehensive. Thank you.

[@stratascratch]

Thank you. We love to share what we know. Glad we have helped you.😀

[@badsanta01]

Thanks for the video Nate. Update : One might get an error in the dislike count part. "The statistics.dislikeCount property was made private as of December 13, 2021. This means that the property is included in an API response only if the API request was authenticated by the video owner. See the revision history for more information."

[@tuhindas6745]

I have been struggling to learn data science from multiple sources and there are hell lot of content.. After scavenging through the dirt pile, garbage of useless information. I can finally say that I have found the most valuable resource available on the internet ! Thank you Nate ! I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. Love from Delhi, India

[@stratascratch]

Thank you for your kind words! More to come!

[@Delchursing]

Made more api progress today than with days of Internet and ai. Thank you. I love how pragmatic this video is.

[@CodyJelinek]

This is brilliant. I took way too much time searching and googling and watching hours long videos to find pretty much everything I need in a clear crisp straight forward 30min video. Minus a tiny bit of API beginner information and knowing the basics of Python, this was perfect. Well done. I imagine the next video will be everything I need and nothing that I don’t to take the next step of processing/analyzing the data. I am hitting play on that……. Now!

[@Davidkiania]

What I love most about your content is how you simplify the building process and then refactoring …. I am hooked.

[@menchu56]

As a beginner, this really helps me understand how to work with JSON files and API calls. Thanks for the great content!

[@sitanshumishra6468]

Thanks Nate, this is the next level of simplifying a so called complex issue related to an API

[@inigocuervo]

Hey there! Just a quick tip for anyone trying out the code: make sure you're using a version of pandas earlier than 2.0. Otherwise, you might need to use a different method instead of .append, or consider adding the data to a Python list first and then converting it to a pandas dataframe. Hope this helps! 😊

[@lme918]

Even if you will use append method, it's strongly adviced do not use append as in his video as it's awful for performance. Don't do it!

[@czr372]

I spend couple hours figuring out the url's and the api key, but this is a great help, Thanx a lot!

[@naanaaabdelmalek]

I really wanna thank you so much cause those are the real skills that we need as entry-level data scientist, i'm an artificial intelligence student and everything they are teaching us is a pure academic which will not cover the practical side.

[@rohitprajapati2303]

Amazing video ,finally get the understanding how to extract data from the API ,Thanks man

[@stratascratch]

I appreciate your feedback! Thank you too.

[@soumodeepsen3448]

This is probably the best video i watched so far on use of api in data science cause everywhere else the videos are so long and i could not understand a lot of those tutorials. Thank you so much for this video content.

[@MrHyde_evol]

Thank you so much for the detailed breakdown and clear explanations of your code logic! As someone new to Python, I understood each concept but was struggling to piece it all together. This video was incredibly helpful, and you've earned a like and a new subscriber. I'd really appreciate it if you could cover the different types of API authorizations in more detail. A video explaining the requests module, especially how to work with GET, POST, PUT, etc., and their parameters would be great. Also, some guidance on using virtual environments would be very helpful!

[@cristiansoto7581]

More videos about this, please. Great information. I loved it!

[@azamatbagatov4933]

This channel deserves million subscribers and views. Keep it up!

@@stratascratch now that we have collected the data how are we going to apply ml to this specific task(yt api) My Guess is we need little more info to predict something with good accuracy these are the things I thought for this data: I think we can cluster the video with less views or likes or something like that, one more thing I can think of is predicting views or likes with the help of regression models I cant think of anything else can u please tell me something else

This video : highly recommended 🍁

[@JMinster]

Thank you so much for your videos, I just recently discovered this channel and it is amazing!

[@rj_nelson_97]

This is great, thanks for providing. Sometimes, the apikey is in the header, so it has to be passed that way. I used this to pull the data in from the API I'm presently working with (ATTOM): url = 'the get url' headers = { 'Accept':'application/json', 'apikey':'your api key', 'accept':'application/json' } response = requests.get(url, headers=headers) response.json()

[@stratascratch]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

[@senyotsedze3388]

Interesting video. I was able to create my own api key from KZbin. But since I have no posted videos, it is difficult to conceptualize your teaching. I wish we could get a generic api key to see data populated in the dataframe.

Can we do same for the Spotify ? Basically i wanted to see all songs heared in previous 24Hrs

[@stratascratch]

Yea most definitely. Just use the same principles as outlined in the video. Looks like Spotify has 2 python API wrappers (developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/libraries/)

[@its_me7363]

Hi Nate, Thanks for making this video and I really enjoyed and learnt from this video. I have a question, do all big/medium companies/startup make their data public via API?

[@stratascratch]

Hey! Thanks for watching. The next video is coming out in 1-2 weeks to close out the series. Sometimes companies make their data public but they usually won't make internal data like user engagement or financial stats public. But they usually do make whatever data you own or whatever is deemed public, accessible to all. Like Twitter has an API you can use to collect tweets because all the tweets are publicly accessible. Hope that helps.

what if i don' t have a videos in my channel, how can i work with channel ID ?

[@markk364]

Excellent Code Descriptions - breaking down the loop elements BEFORE creating the code is excellent. I was inspired by this lesson - to improve my data ingestion capabilities. At risk of redirecting viewers - I started a LI Learning course: Data Ingestion with Python, Miki Tebeka. (requires a subscription to LI).

[@DylanOkyere]

You never linked to the api key document

[@chronomorrow1511]

Could you have made the dataframe appending more efficient with a loop and index [0]? Instead of writing out all 7 key value pairs.

[@elhipster1]

This is definitely the best youtube API video I've been able to find. Thank you so much. I actually went through two other videos before this and this one was the clearest that actually moved into a full pandas dataframe. Thanks!

[@stratascratch]

Hey thanks so much for the kind words! I tried my best to clearly explain all the steps and theory. I hope to create more in the future.

[@elhipster1]

I really appreciate how you created the 'for' loops, THEN went back and restructured the code to be more 'fundamentally' sound. bravo!

[@stratascratch]

@@elhipster1 Thanks for noticing how I do it. I always work in this way where I will write code to make sure the function is there. Once the entire script is finished and it's able to function, I'll go back and refactor everything and try to automate things to make my life easier the 2nd time around. It's a good practice for your self. And if you work on a team, you can even share the code with your team so they can use it for their purposes.

[@kashifrana6798]

I'm new to Python and this really helped a lot , been programming for a long time , but Python is new to me. It explains a lot Is this code available anywhere will save having to re-type . Thanks

[@faustopf-.]

Thank you so much for this amazing video! I got just one question: Could you list all the most used APIs by you in your daily basis routine as a DS/DA?

[@stratascratch]

I think most DSers use internal APIs if their companies build their pipelines as a microservice concept. Otherwise, you'll use DB queries to pull your data from dbs.

[@faustopf-.]

@@stratascratch Gotcha, thanks again! 💪🏻

[@juandiegorodriguez7583]

Something weird happened to me, I used the ID of my channel and my own API but I get videos and titles that I haven't uploaded... does it happen to anyone else?

Please I am building a recommendation system for diet and exercise. Where can I get my data set or API. A link will be appreciated.

[@matthewsmalatji6682]

Please link the video you are referring to in the Intro

[@stratascratch]

Here is the link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWWkl2V8mMyUo6M

[@myselfandpesit]

Thanks for the video. Nevertheless, some python libraries such as Tensorflow talk about APIs when they are actually saved already on our hard drive. I want to ask you how does, a web application such as tensorflow API function here ?

[@stratascratch]

Hi. If I'm understanding correctly, these APIs that are local are basically just ways of transmitting your data locally. You're just using an API locally to build your web app. You can move the API to another server or to the cloud and your web app would still work.

[@vivekrathore1857]

pure learning..

[@Glenners]

I'm just getting started on your channel but I feel like this is already so good. All the other projects and teachings I've found just feel so artificial and insulted. Can't wait to slog through my own projects soon! It still feels like my brain is reaching critical mass before it all "clicks" though.

[@stratascratch]

That's definitely a feeling I still have as I learn more and take on more complex projects. I don't think it ever goes away! So you're on the right track. A lot of data science and analytics is about being comfortable not knowing all the answers. The learning curve is steep but once you get comfortable, it becomes fun. Good luck!

[@wombatwombaffle]

Good work!!!
