Rationale

More often than not, collectig data from REST APIs gets in the way of data analysis and machine learning. The toolbox implements a list of helpers that automate data collection.

Moreover, when we are given aggregate data, for instance, an API endpoint that returns a user’s number of interaction during a given period, the toolbox manages to create time series by asynchronously calling the API multiple times - a little bit hacky, but it wil get what we need.

The toolbox is aimed to a somewhat incipient data science team whose main focus is to get started with data analysis and not data collection.

Versioning

Always suggest a version bump. We use Semantic Versioning.

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

• MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,

• MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and

• PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.
