Hell yeah! Made my first API - I guess? Basically have a server that returns json.

Took data I had extracted with a scraper from the boxofficemojo website, transformed it using pandas, and loaded it up in a directory on my computer to make ... drumroll .... an ETL pipeline!

Then set up a server with Fast API and used pandas to return a dict / json. Is it all there is?

Probably shabby to use data straight from a .csv (probably better off with a database) - but still, super cool. Something that was always a bit abstract is now something I can make happen. Woooo!

Other things:

Tweepy: I also spent a bit of time playing with the Tweepy / the Twitter API - using it to better manage my account (putting my "following" to a list, then reducing my "following" count so my main feed is less clogged). Had a bit of issue with throttling.

Personal website: I keep fixing little things on my personal website (philhuot.com). See it as some kind of little garden (sos buzzword), and it's a nice way way to keep your html / css chops in. It's super basic, but I don't care. Get some joy out of fixing little things, like margins areound listed items. lol.
