something that's python specific more | 3,207.92 | 4.399 |
generally an api is an application | 3,209.92 | 4.8 |
programming interface and it can refer | 3,212.319 | 5.52 |
to python files and functions but often | 3,214.72 | 5.44 |
apis really refer to third-party | 3,217.839 | 4.801 |
services that you and i can write code | 3,220.16 | 3.84 |
that talk to | 3,222.64 | 3.76 |
many apis but not all live on the | 3,224 | 4.4 |
internet these days so that so long as | 3,226.4 | 3.6 |
you have a browser or so long as you | 3,228.4 | 3.52 |
have some experience with python | 3,230 | 3.359 |
programming or programming in any | 3,231.92 | 3.679 |
language you can write code that in | 3,233.359 | 5.2 |
effect pretends to be a browser connects | 3,235.599 | 6.401 |
to that third-party api on a server and | 3,238.559 | 4.961 |
downloads some data that you can then | 3,242 | 3.76 |
incorporate into your own program now | 3,243.52 | 4.48 |
how do you do this well python has a | 3,245.76 | 4.079 |
very popular package that you can | 3,248 | 4.72 |
install via pip called requests the | 3,249.839 | 5.601 |
requests library allows you to make web | 3,252.72 | 5.599 |
requests internet requests using python | 3,255.44 | 5.679 |
code essentially as though you were a | 3,258.319 | 5.28 |
browser yourself you can automate there | 3,261.119 | 4.401 |
for the retrieval of urls that start | 3,263.599 | 5.681 |
with http or https the documentation for | 3,265.52 | 5.76 |
this library is a url like this but it | 3,269.28 | 3.76 |
too can be installed at the command line | 3,271.28 | 3.12 |
and even though it's third party it's | 3,273.04 | 3.279 |
one of the most popular and commonly | 3,274.4 | 4 |
used packages out there in python and | 3,276.319 | 4.24 |
this too is one of the reasons again | 3,278.4 | 4.64 |
that python is so popular there's just | 3,280.559 | 4.321 |
so many solutions to problems that you | 3,283.04 | 4.079 |
and i have or are invariably going to | 3,284.88 | 4.4 |
have when we write projects of our own | 3,287.119 | 4.641 |
there's just a really vibrant ecosystem | 3,289.28 | 4.319 |
a really vibrant community of open | 3,291.76 | 4.319 |
source software that's that easy for us | 3,293.599 | 4.48 |
to install let me go back to my terminal | 3,296.079 | 4.48 |
window now and run pip install requests | 3,298.079 | 4.321 |
in order to install this package on my | 3,300.559 | 3.441 |
own system and after some lines of | 3,302.4 | 3.439 |
output i'll see that it's successfully | 3,304 | 3.92 |
installed now let's go ahead and create | 3,305.839 | 4.201 |
a new file here for instance | 3,307.92 | 3.679 |
itunes.pi | 3,310.04 | 3.96 |
it turns out that apple has its own api | 3,311.599 | 4.081 |
for their itunes service the software | 3,314 | 2.96 |
that provides you with the ability to | 3,315.68 | 2.96 |
download and search for music and songs | 3,316.96 | 3.68 |
and other information as well and it | 3,318.64 | 3.919 |
turns out that let me go back over to my | 3,320.64 | 4 |
computer here and open up a browser like | 3,322.559 | 4.081 |
chrome and let me go ahead and visit | 3,324.64 | 5.8 |
this url here https colon slash | 3,326.64 | 5.439 |
itunes.apple.com | 3,330.44 | 2.52 |
search | 3,332.079 | 3.28 |
question mark entity equals song | 3,332.96 | 5.359 |
ampersand limit equals one ampersand | 3,335.359 | 5.281 |
term equals weezer now i constructed | 3,338.319 | 4.081 |
this url manually by reading the | 3,340.64 | 4.08 |
documentation for apple's api | 3,342.4 | 4 |
application programming interface for | 3,344.72 | 3.92 |
itunes and what they told me is that if | 3,346.4 | 4.32 |
i want to search for information about | 3,348.64 | 4.8 |
songs in their database i should specify | 3,350.72 | 4.879 |
entity equal song so that it's songs and | 3,353.44 | 3.919 |
not albums or artists or something like | 3,355.599 | 3.121 |
that if i just want to get back | 3,357.359 | 3.121 |
information on one song i'm going to | 3,358.72 | 4.16 |
provide limit equals one and if the band | 3,360.48 | 4.079 |
i want to search for the artist is | 3,362.88 | 4.08 |
weezer i should specify term equals | 3,364.559 | 5.121 |
weezer so with this if i go ahead and | 3,366.96 | 5.119 |
hit enter and visit this url i actually | 3,369.68 | 4.24 |
end up with a text file in my downloads | 3,372.079 | 4.081 |
folder on my mac if i go ahead and open | 3,373.92 | 3.679 |
that text file that my browser just | 3,376.16 | 3.12 |
downloaded will see all of this text | 3,377.599 | 3.441 |
here which at first glance might look a | 3,379.28 | 3.6 |
bit cryptic but it actually follows a | 3,381.04 | 4 |
pattern notice this curly brace at the | 3,382.88 | 4.479 |
start and notice this closed curly brace | 3,385.04 | 4.4 |
at the end notice this open square | 3,387.359 | 4 |
bracket here and notice this close | 3,389.44 | 4.879 |
square bracket here and in between those | 3,391.359 | 4.96 |
pieces of syntax are a whole bunch of | 3,394.319 | 4.081 |
strings and values in fact a whole bunch | 3,396.319 | 4.401 |
of key value pairs what we're looking at | 3,398.4 | 4.399 |
here is a standard text format known as | 3,400.72 | 5.04 |
json javascript object notation which | 3,402.799 | 4.481 |
yes is technically related to yet | 3,405.76 | 2.96 |
another programming language called | 3,407.28 | 4.24 |
javascript but json itself is typically | 3,408.72 | 5.839 |
used nowadays as a language agnostic | 3,411.52 | 5.52 |
format for exchanging data between | 3,414.559 | 4.8 |
computers by language agnostic i mean | 3,417.04 | 3.84 |
you don't have to use javascript you can | 3,419.359 | 3.76 |
use python or any other language to read | 3,420.88 | 4.56 |
