Hi Rij, I would approach it like this (though there might be alternative routes to the same results):
First: Where is the data? According to your links, the various API endpoints are in the “results” list of the JSON on http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_list <http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_list> To get access data from a particular dataset/endpoint, you can “generate” thus: 1. Go to http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_list <http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_list> and grab a dataset endpoint that interests you. I will choose the first one that comes up: 19-year-olds-qualified-to-nvq-level-3 2. “Generate” the API endpoint for this dataset by appending its URL to http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_show?id= <http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_show?id=> (as per the documentation). This will give you http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_show?id=19-year-olds-qualified-to-nvq-level-3 <http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_show?id=19-year-olds-qualified-to-nvq-level-3> for this particular dataset. 3. Fetch the data from the API There are many tools out there, but my favorite is Python-Requests. See the docs at http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ <http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/> Now, in your Python program/Django models or views modules, do: import requests url = “http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_show?id=19-year-olds-qualified-to-nvq-level-3 <http://data.london.gov.uk/api/3/action/package_show?id=19-year-olds-qualified-to-nvq-level-3>” response = requests.get(url) 4. Use the data as you see fit. The “response” object you (successfully) get from the line above contains all the data you need from the dataset you chose. See the Python-Requests docs for all the ways to extract that data. And, then pass that data onto whatever other program, package or module you want to use to analyze or graph the response data. Also see the data portal for all the ways you can interact with their API. I hope this helps. All the best.
