== Wikipedia Edit Data from the API == Walk through some code and introduce some new concepts: * [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki]: The software that runs many wikis including basically every website on https://fandom.com * MediaWiki API with documentation in various places [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php] * Walk through some example code that I've written in these notebooks: [https://github.com/kayleachampion/spr23_CDSW/blob/main/curriculum/week6/01-collect_rock_bands_json.ipynb] [https://github.com/kayleachampion/spr23_CDSW/blob/main/curriculum/week6/02-analyze_rock_band_data.ipynb] This introduces a few new concepts: * continuations (i.e., what do you do when you don't know how much data you have before you start?) * <code>while True</code> loops * updating your parameters to "get the next chunk" * <code>time.sleep()</code>
