Acquire data with pandas
As you just saw, consuming the public API, converting the data and transforming this into a DataFrame required multiple lines of code.
This can be simplified by using pandas' pd.read_json(), which handles the above steps for you.
You will consume the same API again. However this time, you'll be using pandas to consume the API and store the result to disk for further analysis.
The URL to consume data from has been defined for you.
