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 the EIA API requires creating an API key; for this exercise, a demo API key has been set up for you.
The requests, os, and pandas packages, as pd, were imported for you.

연습 안내
- 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.
