"Exploring Companies data with Companies House API and Python" - Rory Gianni
A Python-based introduction to the Companies House API. This covers making requests and trying to gather data while overcoming the idiosyncrasies of the CH API.
Biography
Rory is a technology trainer and consultant into all things creative and civic tech. Rory is co-founder of conversational AI company, inChat (https://inchat.design). He recently started a blog and channel called Creating with Data which covers various data and visualisation topics.
Challenge
After the talk at each APUG session we have a coding challenge for attendees - often based on the talk topic, and normally announced on the night. Challenges can be tackled in small groups or solo.
So, if you can, bring a laptop or other device that you can run Python on. If you don’t already have Python set up, we can help you with that too. Coding in pairs or small groups (especially mixing beginner and more experiences coders) is strongly encouraged, though you can also code solo.
Registration
Register for the meeting.
Keep in touch
We recommend joining our Slack group. There you can join the #APUG channel and stay in touch with other attendees, and presenters, suggest talks, and ask questions.
If you are a beginner looking to get started in Python have a look at our Learning Resources page where we recommend a free video course on Youtube.
