A couple notes I took before I started following along with the actual work.
- [email protected]; http://v.gd/littleconsult (meeting to talk with John Little);
- http://v.gd/webscraping
- Lab near Edge Workshop room has 1TB scratch + 32 GB RAM Windows machines
- All workshops recorded.
- rvest (R) or beautiful soup (Python)
- "Scraping an API is a method used to gather clean data from a website (i.e. data that is not wrapped in HTML, JS, bound in HTTP, etc.)" ... "it's like going through the service entrance instead of the front entrance."
