msulaim / API-and-REST

The API and REST repository explores the principles of REST by creating a basic Calendar API, consuming an API using Python by demonstrating consumption of the Crunchbase API, using a third party library such as gcsa to consume complex API such as the Google Calendar API as well as creating an event categorizer for the user's Google Calendar which informs them of how much and where they are spending their time

The API-and-REST repository contains the following projects, more details are contained in the READMEs inside each project's directory:

• Calendar API: Create a basic API that implements REST principles by using get, post, put and delete using Python and consume it as well

• Crunchbase API: Consume the Crunchbase API to group industries by their functions

• gcsa Library: Gives an overview of the gcsa library in Python for consuming the Google Calendar API

• Google Calendar Event Categorizer: Events from a user's Google Calendar are grouped based on the categories specified by the user through which the user is informed where and how much time they are spending. The Google Calendar API is consumed using the gcsa library in Python, the events from the user's calendar are stored in a DataFrame along with useful data related to the start and end time as well as duration. The results are then plotted in the form of pie, horizontal bar, stacked bar chart informing the user of the "% Time Spent by Category", "Average Time Spent Per Category", "Average Time Spent Per Category by Day of Week", "Total Time Spent Per Calendar"
