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 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.

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.

Final project is a bit confusing and assignments should be added for the API's as they are very confusing

In particular in this course, too much videos, but just a few excercise. API Rest isn't quite simple.

The course materials are good, but would have preferred a more ambitious final project.
