API in Python - ptre - Mar-21-2018
Hello all,
I am starting with Python (previously i coded some in VBA) and I have a question about API. Is there any good book about that?
I need API to connect with Bloomberg and Reuters.

To connect to API's is Requests the best tool.
Today is most common that get JSON back from API,then can parse out wanted stuff as you get Python dictionary back.
Example:
>>> import requests
>>>
>>> r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/users/defunkt')
>>> r.status_code
200
>>> data = r.json()
>>> data['company']
'@github '
>>> data['bio']
'? '
>>> data['updated_at']
