Making an API request
Forecasting systems start with a data pipeline that gathers new data from an API or other data source. In this exercise, you'll create the URL link and send a request to the EIA API to retrieve electricity data.
Note that working with EIA API requires creating an API key, so for this exercise's purposes a demo API key was set up for you.
The requests, os, and pandas as pd packages were imported.
Diese Übung ist Teil des Kurses
Designing Forecasting Pipelines for Production
Anleitung zur Übung
- Extract the API key from the environment variable, saving it as
eia_api_key. - Create the full URL path by combining
api_url_pathandeia_api_key. - Make the request using the correct method and passing the full link.

# Extract the API key from the environment variable

# Create the full URL path
api_url = "https://api.eia.gov/v2/"
api_path = "electricity/rto/region-data/"
api_url_path = api_url + api_path + "data/&data[]=value"
full_path = ____ + "?api_key=" + ____
