Using JSON to Query Web Services

This lesson walks students through the process of using an API key(which is a method that most online services use to authenticate users of their APIs) and using it in python scripts to access stock exchange APIs with results returning in the form of JSON files.  These technologies are critical when interfacing with databases of information. The skills learned in this series of lessons is transferable to most online resources and will apply when file formats change from the current standard of JSON.
