[LIVE] 🔓 Hacking Government Data with Python (Step-by-Step Tutorial)

Extracting Department of Government Efficiency (DoGE) Contract Data – Beginner friendly, No Coding Experience Needed!
Hacking #elonmusk DoGE Contract Data with Python – API Mastery

⚡ Stop copying data manually! Learn how to pull 1000s of government contracts automatically using Python—even if you’ve never coded before.

🚨 API access may change soon—learn this NOW before it’s too late!

0:00 Introduction: DoGE
Department of Government Efficiency (DoGE) Contract Data

0:16 Section 1: What is API?
Using two python tools:
1. requests — to ask for data.
2. pandas — to store it neatly, like an Excel sheet.

1:30 Section 2: Building the API request
While using Python’s requests library to call the API.
We utilize key parameters like: sort by savings, descending order, and 500 records per page—the max allowed. Always check the API docs! DoGE lets us paginate, but some APIs require keys or rate limits.

4:04 Section 3: Fetching the data
We loop through all data pages using python for loop, appending each response to a list (Data structure).
Pro tip: Add error handling—APIs change and/or fail often!

Raw data is messy—like unwashed vegetables. We:
Pandas makes cleaning easy. We convert savings to numbers, dates to datetime, and drop nulls. Always remember to validate your results!

In this video we learned:
1. APIs are like waiters fetching data,
2. Python can automate this in 20 lines of code,
3. Cleaning data is essential!

In the next video, we’ll analyze this data for shocking trends—no coding required!

Pros: Python automates this in minutes.
Cons: APIs change—always test!
