Exploring Web APIs | PydyTuesday Uncut

Join Michael Chow (open source developer at Posit) and Jeroen Janssens (developer relations engineer at Posit) as they dive into this week's #PydyTuesday dataset about Web APIs. Tools include uv, Positron, Polars, Plotnine, Great Tables, and the Unix command line. True to the "PydyTuesday Uncut" title, this video is completely unedited. Every typo, mistake, web search, and "aha!" moment is left in so you can see exactly how others approach a new dataset from scratch.
