Project Checkpoint 3

Now that you have explored your original dataset and produced data summaries addressing your primary research questions, it is time to integrate new country-level data.

By the end of the week, your updated report should contain:

  • two new country-level data sources

    • Stat 431: One of these must be acquired using APIs or webscraping

    • Stat 541: One of these must be acquired using APIs, the other using webscraping.

  • descriptions of each of the new datasets

  • a “meta” dataset containing all the acquired data (joined together)

  • at least two data summaries OR visualizations incorporating the additional country-level data

Stat 541 Only

  • your webscraped data must come from a multi-paged source, so that iteration is used to gather all the data
Warning

Warning! Most APIs require you to make an account to access them to prevent too much automated data collection. Some APIs also charge a fee to use. You should not use any paid APIs for this class!
