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

Күн бұрын

We’re going to be working with the KZfaq API to collect video statistics from my channel using the requests python library to make an API call and save it as a pandas dataframe. Working with APIs is a necessary skillset for all data scientists and should be incorporated into your data science projects. I talk about the one data science project you’ll ever need in this video bit.ly/3rEt6WG so we’ll start with the first step and learn how to work with APIs in python to collect our data.
The python notebook and links to resources are located in this Github repo: github.com/Strata-Scratch/api...

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

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 KZfaq 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)

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."

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 KZfaq 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.

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 8 ай бұрын

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!

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.🙏

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 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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.
