Editing Yelp (CDSW) (section)

== Download and test the Yelp project ==

If you are confused by these steps, go back and refresh your memory with the [[Community_Data_Science_Workshops_(Fall_2015)/Day_0_setup_and_tutorial|Day 0 setup instructions]]

(Estimated time: 10 minutes)

===Download the Yelp API project===

* Right click the following file, click "Save Target as..." or "Save link as...", and save it to your Desktop directory: https://github.com/CommunityDataScienceCollective/yelp-api-cdsw/archive/master.zip
* The ".zip" extension on the above file indicates that it is a compressed Zip archive. We need to "extract" its contents. To do this on Windows, click on "Start", then "Computer".  If you are a Mac, open Finder and navigate to your Desktop directory. Find <code>yelp-api-cdsw-master.zip</code> on your Desktop and double-click on it to "unzip" it. That will create a folder called <code>yelp-api-cdsw</code> containing several files.

===Enter your API information===

* Open Jupyter and navigate to the directory that contains Yelp API (probably something of the form <code>C:\Users\'''YOURUSERNAME'''\Desktop\yelp-api-cdsw</code> on Windows and  <code>~/Desktop/yelp-api-cdsw</code> on Mac OSX.
* Open up the file <code>yelp_authentication.py</code> in Jupyter.
* You will see four lines that include one variable "APIkey". 
* Find the API key you created and wrote-down in "Create App" when you followed the [[Yelp authentication setup]]. Change the string that says "CHANGE ME" into a string that includes the key you downloaded. Remember that since this is a string, we need to include quotations marks around them. 

Once you have done this, your example programs are set up to use the Yelp API!

===Test the Yelp API code===
