Learning Python APIs & Web Scraping with BeautifulSoup

#Day 1 - Learning Python APIs & Web Scraping Today, I focused on Python APIs and Web Scraping using BeautifulSoup as part of my Data Science learning journey. Time Spent: 1 hour What I learned today: • How APIs help in fetching structured data from external platforms • How web scraping is useful when data is not available through APIs • How to extract and parse website data using BeautifulSoup • How JSON and HTML data formats are commonly used in real-world data collection • Why data collection is a critical first step in the data science workflow. Why this is important for Data Science: • Helps in building real-world datasets from multiple sources • Provides hands-on understanding of raw and unstructured data • Forms the foundation for data analysis, visualization, and modeling Key takeaway: Understanding APIs and web scraping makes it easier to source real-world data instead of relying only on ready-made datasets. This learning is helping me move beyond just analysis and understand how data is actually collected in real-world projects. Excited to continue this Data Science journey and apply these concepts in upcoming projects 🚀 #DataScience #Python #APIs #WebScraping #BeautifulSoup #LearningJourney #DataCollection #Day1
