Does your large chunk of unorganized data terrify you? Let’s delve into the world of data retrieval, and learn how to transform intimidating numbers into meaningful information. We’ll begin with a dataset pulled from a REST API and learn how to convert it into properly structured data using SQL to facilitate information flow, analysis, and decision-making. The examples will build upon one another to create a progressively complex query. The objective is to demystify the process by showcasing the relationship between query parameters in a REST API and their translation into SQL queries for retrieving data from a database.
