Working With APIs in Python - Pagination and Data Extraction

[@Kyosika]

Thanks for linking this video John!

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

No worries hope it helped you!

[@francol.dejuana7862]

Love you man, i saw like 10 videos about APIs request and data pull. All of them with over 1M viewers.. and they all just show how to code the request and not anything else, which is equal to nothing, what a waste of time. This video is simple, concrete, and right to the point. You surely deserve more viewers.

[@davidcorona644]

I totally get what you mean. It's like most videos are like we're going to learn the order of operations and their example is 2 + 2 * 3 and this guy is like let's look at 2 + 2 * -(6 / 2 +2 / -8 * 4 ** 2) / 1 * 2 - 1/1

[@alzahalemn7322]

This should be the first video recommended when you search for making API requests. Went through the video quickly but will be watching slowly tomorrow while coding alongside the video :)

[@adamisherwood6708]

I have to say that you have given on your channel the most comprehensive insight in to scraping of any person on this platform. For that I must say a very big thank you.

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Thank you very kind

[@alexcorrea8971]

love your way of teaching, straightforward with no fluff, thank you!

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Thanks!

[@ArjunSahni]

Love the way you have started from scratch and have gradually paced up to the pagination part. Very short and crisp way of teaching, much appreciated! 🙌

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Thank you, very kind!

[@jarekmor]

I am just starting to learn Python programming and I can say that you are my best and favorite Teacher! Thank you!

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Wow, thanks!

Best Yt chanel. This knowledge only uses to be available on paid content. So thank you so much :)

Thanks 😊

20:07 I had a problem with pandas being unrecognized, but i fixed it by using pip3 install pandas instead of pip install pandas Hope this helps!

[@katiboo]

Best explanation I have ever heard. With your help I was able to figure it all out. thanks for what you do.

This is the best tutorial on APIs that I have watched. It's excellent!

It the best video to understand the how to make an API in python.

[@dhanishasharma2573]

i was able to do it, this is a great video! lots of respect and love to you man!🌻

[@lechendemstephen1378]

i had some confusion about API's but you just made it look very simple

[@pashadjoystick]

watched this video because of learning english :) thank you for clenan english

[@deathsalesman8462]

WOW! That was such a clear explanation.

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Great video John, very helpful and thanks for sharing. Maybe one suggestion to think over . The little pip of your face is in de right hand down corner. But most of the output of the terminal is also down under so (and I have noticed in many of your video's) the output is often hidden behind that small screen. Maybe it would be better to put it (the PIP) in the top righthand corner. Anyways, thanks for the effort of making these video's. In the past I had to search in YT for solutions for my questions but now since I found your channel, all the(my) answers are here in one channel.

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Good suggestion thank you, I will check goign forward not to block the terminal output and move my camera picture if needed!

[@diegomairena]

Nice one John! Love working with an API me. This is great :)

Thank you!

This was a very helpful walk-through - Thanks for the great content! :)

[@Obnotikus]

Hello, thank you for the video. I wanted to ask what extension/program you are using to make the API's more readable in your browser. Thank you

[@laredoeneko]

Fantastic, very good explain it. You got a new subscriber

[@igordc16]

I wish I had watched this video before, it sure would've had helped me. The other two videos about API that you did, it was helpful to, but they were too short. I like long videos where you explain everything details by details.

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Great, I’m glad this one was able to help you, thanks for watching

[@wangdanny178]

ok thanks again for your video. Now I am getting a better idea of scraping through api.

always support with full view, like your video as a thanks to your teaching. Looking forward for your sharing more in SQL and APIs :)

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

Thank you!

[@sampson14567]

I have a question. When you are using a list for organizing data into pandas, how do you specify an area that is below episodes?

[@imaginary8168]

What are you using that your API is so much more readable? When I click on the link, I get a continuous line of text, not an organized block of text divided into different categories.

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

I’m the browser? Firefox does it by default- or the app I use is called insomnia to make api requests

[@imaginary8168]

Love ur stuff John, keep going. ATM dealing with an api that needs a bearer token, that changes daily. Am stumped ATM, need to figure that out otherwise I cant print price no more 😪

How can I scrape an html where is no json file and everything is under a button to display hidden elements. The issue is that is no json unless I press the button on main website. Is there a way to look for that button with phyton code except using selenium webdrive?

[@boringhuman9427]

def parse_json(response): return [{'Name':item['name'],'No_Episodes':len(item['episode'])} for item in response['results']] we could have used dict/list comprehension

Thanks for watching!

[@leonardsteele764]

John, would you know where I can find information on calling two APIs at once and using that data with Python?

[@leonardsteele764]

Also, thanks for this video

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

hey thanks. if you wanted to call 2 different API's you can do it the same way from the same script, just change the URL

[@leonardsteele764]

Thanks @@JohnWatsonRooney . I just want to be clear on this. If my transaction data api has customerID (int) and my customer data has customerID and I want to pull the transactions and include the customer name, not ID, I would use two URLs. Would I then have if tdata['customerID'] = cdata['customerID'] print cdata['customername']?

Wonderful tutorial ever : ) thanks

[@thepakcolapcar]

very nicely put together; I have been working api's using python and this video helps. One thing I always been trying/looking for is that, is there a way to create a generic python project to handle any api rest calls? I am aware that each api is customized by the api provider but just still trying to come up with something generic. Any thoughts/suggestions on this lines?

[@hbhavsi]

What browser are you using that shows the number items in results? I tried Brave (based on Chromium) with a prettier JSON extension, and even Firefox, but when I collapse results, I don't see the number of items. TIA!

Hi John, great explanation!. The process is the the same when I have a page_token instead of a page number?. Thanks

[@venkatabora1459]

Great Video and an awesome teaching. But what if your api allows you to make asynchronous call? How should we handle pagination in such cases?

[@rameshks5281]

Hi sir u do with some external file like csv or excel file sir n read from excel and write back to that excel or csv file sir

Thank you for this video, It is very help as it solves most of the challenges with my use case. The only challenge is that, I needed to save the raw JSON data I to the data. How d you suggest I go about it?

Like your video! Thanks

[@inesesteves375]

great video!!

[@aymanraouf1820]

I am a complete beginner here. Just to understand what you did in laymans term. You basically mirrored the website into python and extracted information from it. Is this correct? And somehow, you also made the data in JSON format for ease of interpretation by Python.

Thanks. Is it possible to share python file.

Awesome!! What if for each api call you get only 1000 records with 100 records per page and you need to get 20k records from your api in total. How to handle such cases?

[@oscarmartinezbeltran]

Hi John: I love your channel !!!! Fantastic! Keep it up! I have one question: in minute 11 when you are building def get_pages(response): instead of pages = data ['info']['pages'] you put pages =response ['info']['pages'] . You replace data with response. My question : response = to what ? You mean: response = r .json ? why? thankyou for your help!

[@JohnWatsonRooney]

The "response" is the json data that i am taking from the first function and passing into the second one. This function just parses the data, so we need to give it that data

[@oscarmartinezbeltran]

@@JohnWatsonRooney Thanks John for your quick reply. I understand your explanation. And now I see that here response = main_request(baseurl, endpoint).
