About the Course

This course teaches you to fetch and process data from services on the Internet. It covers Python list comprehensions and provides opportunities to practice extracting from and processing deeply nested data. You'll also learn how to use the Python requests module to interact with REST APIs and what to look for in documentation of those APIs. For the final project, you will construct a “tag recommender” for the flickr photo sharing site. The course is well-suited for you if you have already taken the "Python Basics" and "Python Functions, Files, and Dictionaries" courses (courses 1 and 2 of the Python 3 Programming Specialization). If you are already familiar with Python fundamentals but want practice at retrieving and processing complex nested data from Internet 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....

This was a really excellent course. The functional project at the end helped me understand how recommendation systems work and now I'm very excited to try to build a similar system for books I love.

Very interesting and fine course, in this course I learn how to solve Nested data and new a new thing i.e REST API which seems best in course 3 now I am excited about course 4. Thanking you Michigan

Final assignment is not working as expected , there is some bug in runestone interactive page and therefore there is an invalid error being thrown and I am unable to finish this module because of this bug

This course presents useful concepts, but as with earlier courses in this specialization, it is geared toward learners who are new to programming. Experienced learners may expect a greater challenge.

Very good course until the final project. There are a lot of bugs that caused me and what seems like a lot of other students to have to spend a great deal of time on it. This time wasn't productive.

This course seemed a bit rushed and less well organized than the prior two.

I would have appreciated more practice especially with RESTful data collection before jumping into the final project

Excellent understunding of programming. Advanced concepts such list comprenhension, map and zip make me review my way of thinking, producing better and shorten coding.

Thxs to the Instructors.

Good course like the others in the specialization! I found the end of course project unnecessary difficult because there were some subtle errors from the assessment questions and grader.

I thought the material was presented okay. The exercise examples are now out of date and should be sourced elsewhere (tastedive is going away and OMDB now requires an API Key).

I think it is a great course. They only thing I would add is that it needs a better practice tool and the rumstone environment is not very good. But I'm happy I took it.

The final assignment was kind of hard to complete, as the tests test for a specific implementation. Always be sure to check example queries provided in the coding box.

Good way to learn more about the usefulness of Python. A little bit more difficult than the previous Python 3 Programming Courses. Great lecturer!

It was difficult to complete all questions of the final project because the information brought back was often different than what was expected.

more work required on presentation of the material and practice sessions to better establish the foundation principles and methods of API tools.

Very nice done but a lot of problems to handle the timing of the graded assestment tool, I had to put 40000ms in order to make working my code

This particular course is very challenging. I found there were some issue with the assessment grading. Despite all this, is a good course.

I think overall the course is well structured, but the final project's provided cache problems caused extra but not really needed efforts

Muchos problemas con el proyecto final por falta de claridad en las preguntas, sin embargo, en los foros de debate siempre las resuelven

Too theoretical. Needs more practice in between the topics. It was difficult to pass the final exam for a newbie in programming.

The course was very good, well organised and with interesting assignments. Some of the material was quite confusing though.

The final project was quite hard and time consuming ... but it was fun to handle difficult problem....Love this course.....

The contents of course is great, but I wish we had more assignments to practice, like in other courses of specialization.

I believe that the course is quite helpful. However, I would like to have more examples to practice especially with API.

I think you should use the IDE platform instead of your builtin IDE, which is not fully related to the original python.

Really nice course, it explained the concept of API in a simple but effective manner with ample amount of examples.

Awesome Lectures and Very creative assignments... Week 3 portions such as REST, Json could be made more interesting

Great course, it's just that we don't actually get to practice with API. Other than that, the course is excelent.
