In this comprehensive and exhaustive Hut 8 ‘techtorial’ we take a deep dive look at how to use the Python programming language to parse JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data. In Part I we will cover key terminology like URI, REST, RESTful, API, and we begin to build our “directions” Python application using the MapQuest API. We also look at ‘pip’ to install the needed ‘requests’ module. At the end of this video, you will have a working Python application (minus the bells and whistles that will be added in Part II and Part III). Enjoy!
