This example demonstrates how to query the Yelp API for nearby restaurants using the rauth library for OAuth 1.0 authentication. It shows a Python script that iterates over three sets of latitude/longitude coordinates, sending a search request for each location with parameters like restaurant term, radius filter, and a limit of ten results. The code retrieves JSON responses, converts them into Python dictionaries, and includes a rate-limiting sleep between calls to respect API usage. The visualization highlights the workflow of constructing signed requests and parsing structured location data from Yelp’s search endpoint.

Upload Yelp data

This example displays a minimal text summary of the uploaded Yelp dataset for Greater Boston, showing the file size, row count, and column count in a large violet font. Using D3 v5, the code fetches a CSV file from a GitHub gist via `d3.csv` and processes the parsed tabular data with `d3.csvFormat` and `data.columns` to extract metadata. The visualization itself does not map or plot the restaurant data, instead serving as a load-check for the raw dataset.

Live API coding for fame

This example demonstrates the process of live-coding an API data exploration workflow, fetching parking location data from the RDW opendata endpoint and inspecting its structure. It retrieves the JSON response, extracts values from selected columns like `areaid` and `usageid` using JavaScript array methods, and logs unique values to the console. The code also counts occurrences of empty strings within the `areaid` field, showcasing basic data quality checks. It relies on the browser’s native `fetch` API and plain JavaScript functions for filtering, deduplication, and counting, with no external visualization libraries involved.

Example of GET request in Python

This example demonstrates how to perform a basic GET request in Python, handling authentication and potential errors gracefully. It uses the `requests` library with `HTTPBasicAuth` to send a request to a specified URL, then checks the response status and returns the JSON data if successful. The code also catches various exceptions from `requests.exceptions`—including connection errors, timeouts, and HTTP errors—to report failure messages. The visible structure shows an import of `urlparse` and `sys`, though no URL parsing or system exit is actively used beyond the final error handling.

Live API coding for fame

This example demonstrates how to fetch and explore parking-location data from the RDW open-data API, logging unique area and usage identifiers to the console. It uses the Fetch API to retrieve a JSON endpoint (`https://opendata.rdw.nl/resource/t5pc-eb34.json`), then maps over the objects to extract values from specific columns. Custom functions filter the data, list unique values, and count empty strings, revealing data-quality issues and the diversity of geographic regions and usage types.

Gist a5cf994bfd6361bdf32d780a012b3267

This example shows an interactive command-line tool that asks a user for latitude and longitude coordinates, then displays nearby trails on a map. The visualization first captures raw text input, strips spaces, and splits it into latitude and longitude values, which are then passed to a function that queries trail data. While the code itself does not include rendering libraries, it prepares a URL query string with `lat` and `lon` parameters for a web-based map request. The example highlights a straightforward data-flow pattern: user input is parsed and forwarded to a data-fetching routine, with no explicit charting or mapping library used in the visible snippet.

Google Map + D3.js

This example combines Google Maps with D3.js to display bars and lounges around a Los Angeles hotel, using data from the Yelp API. A custom Google Maps overlay projects each business's latitude and longitude onto the map, rendering them as styled SVG markers with numbered labels. The map itself uses custom styling to alter road, landscape, and transit appearance, while the markers are drawn as red circles with white strokes. The code relies on the Google Maps JavaScript API, D3 v3, and jQuery for data handling, with the input data stored in a query.json file.

Adapted the script by Yonhah: https://github.com/yonghah/esri2sf/blob/master/R/esri2sf.R

This example demonstrates how to fetch GIS feature data from an ArcGIS REST server and convert it into simple features for spatial analysis in R. It shows a workflow that queries a specified layer, retrieves object IDs, and then pulls the corresponding attributes and geometries as GeoJSON. The code relies on the `httr` package for HTTP requests, `jsonlite` for parsing JSON responses, and `sf` for handling spatial data. It also includes a helper function to generate authentication tokens when the server requires login. The implementation uses the ArcGIS REST API's `query` endpoint to request data in batches of 500 IDs, ensuring efficient retrieval of large datasets.

Fork of Bar plot of Yelp data: top cities

This fork of a bar plot visualizes the top ten cities in Greater Boston with the highest number of Yelp restaurants rated four stars or above. Rendered as an SVG, the chart uses horizontal bars to compare city counts, with the x-axis showing the number of restaurants and the y-axis listing city names. The code leverages d3.scaleLinear and d3.scaleBand for axis scaling, and d3.axisLeft and d3.axisBottom to generate the axes. Data is loaded from a local CSV file, with the original source being the public Yelp dataset.
