Collecting and Processing Data with Python

This course teaches you how to retrieve and process data from services on the web. It introduces Python list comprehensions and provides practice retrieving and processing deeply nested data. You'll also learn how to use Python's requests module to interact with REST APIs and what to look for in the documentation for those APIs. As a final project, you'll create a "tag recommender" for the photo-sharing site flickr. This course is a good fit if you've already completed Python Fundamentals and Python Functions, Files, and Dictionaries (Courses 1 and 2 of the Python 3 Programming Specialization). If you already know the basics of Python but want practice retrieving and processing complex nested data from web services, you can also benefit from this course without taking the previous two. This is the third of five courses in the Python 3 Programming Specialization.
