This course teaches the "why" and the "what" as well as the "how" to gather data from around the web. Particularly excellent is the web service through API's.

Dr. Chuck is an awesome educator and his passion to develop and expand MOOCs to address our outdated education system is inspiring.
Very nice course and very well organised. The only thing I have to point is that I expected a little bit harder. Nevertheless perfect. It is very good to have all the classes ready at the beginning, so one can take its own rhythm.
The instructor and the material actually help you learn, instead of just throwing you in the deep and expect you to figure it out.
One of the best courses ever!
Good course.Gives a clear view on the way websites and API's work.
Very practical. Chuck's is the best at explaining things. Very simple, useful and hands on.
This was a short but very good introduction to APIs and Python's ability to retrieve data from the web.
The load is quite low, so my suggestions to the teacher would be: make it harder! Include more examples and make both quizes and assignments harder in the same amount of time.
Yet another fantastic course in the specialization where I learned a lot!
This covers techniques to harvest data from online sources. A common first steps in many projects.
