Here is a link to the API FAQ page. My api key is
b1658f18-9f42-4dad-9178-a1adbc2c5d86

If you register for the site you can get your own api key by just scrolling to the bottom of the account page. There isn't much of a benefit from making one though. We can also get data by going to their data page and just clicking stuff. Using both the API and the data page craps out a CSV file

Do we want to use Python 2.7 or 3, whatever we choose it must be consistent across the project.

[josephrobertlopez]

I assumed that they would prefer 3. Would you care to meet up and wokr on the module?

[Evanito]

Okay, I think we have what we need in order to present at next week's meeting. I am still waiting for Enji's Github username, however.

I think that he just expects to communicate over slack but im fine with whatever we do
