In this class, we will write a python program to connect to a weather API, specify a location, and download realtime weather data.
Class experience
In this course, we will continue on in python and write a program that connects to the Open Weather API. This is a great first step into the world of expanding python beyond your computer and connecting to the practically endless sources of API data. We will talk about different connected data applications, and how to take the JSON data the API endpoint returns and transform it into something we can use in our program. Connected applications are how most apps and programs work, taking data...
In this class, we will be talking about variables, strings, lists, dictionaries, APIs, JSON, and a number of other topics. Students will learn how to explore data from an API, and customize the requests sent to the endpoint. We will also explore how to use the data once it is locally saved.
I love teaching programming using fun and interesting examples because it helps students go farther than learning hard to contextualize concepts. Understanding what we are doing and why means that students will be able to apply algebraic concepts (like x+y) having understood examples like (red bike + blue bike) in a way that has context and meaning.
Homework Offered
Students will receive a copy of the code following the class and are encouraged to work with, and expand what it can do. This is a first step into the world of connected data, but there are practically endless API sources to explore.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
