Notes

API Tools

  • Getting data: more complex than the actual process

  • UTD websites → Scraping → Parsing → Uploading

    • Scraping just pulls and stores all data in a readable format

      • Dumps in local storage

    • Parsing formats data correctly

    • Uploading to database (MongoDB)

  • All steps are separate and can be tweaked and run without rerunning the other steps

Actual API

  • Hosted on Google Cloud

  • Reads data from MongoDB and sends it to users

Overall

  • The main focus is on the API tools, not the actual API

    • Distributing the data is easy, but getting is hard

  • Main users are the Nebula projects, which guide the API

Succession

  • Josh is graduating at the end of the semester

    • All other election spots are open as well

  • If you’re at all interest now or in the future, reach out
