This project was further practice in working with API's. I collected data from the JSONPlaceholder REST API, and learned how to export it to either CSV or JSON format.
-
0. Gather data from an API
- 0-gather_data_from_an_API.py: Python script that returns information on the to-do list progress of a given employee ID.
- Usage:
python3 0-gather_data_from_an_API.py <employee ID>. - Output:
Employee <employee name> is done with tasks(<# completed tasks>/<total # tasks>):
-
1. Export to CSV
- 1-export_to_CSV.py: Python script exports to-do list information of a given employee ID to CSV format.
- Usage:
python3 1-export_to_CSV.py <employee ID> - File name:
<user id>.csv. - Format:
"<user id>","<username>","<task completed status>","<task title>".
-
2. Export to JSON
- 2-export_to_JSON.py: Python script that exports to-do list information of a given employee ID to JSON format.
- Usage:
python3 2-export_to_JSON.py <employee ID> - File name:
<user id>.json - Format:
{ "<user id>": [ {"task": "<task title>", "completed": <task completed status>, "username": "<username>"}}, ... ]}
-
3. Dictionary of list of dictionaries
- 3-dictionary_of_list_of_dictionaries.py: Python script that exports to-do list information for all employees to JSON format.
- Usage:
python3 3-dictionary_of_list_of_dictionaries.py - File name:
todo_all_employees.json - Format:
{ "<user id>": [ {"username": "<username>", "task": "<task title>", "completed": <task completed status>}, {"username": "<username>", "task": "<task title>", "completed": <task completed status>}, ... ], "<user id>": [ {"username": "<username>", "task": "<task title>", "completed": <task completed status>}, {"username": "<username>", "task": "<task title>", "completed": <task completed status>}, ... ]}
