CS50 Final Project: Getting the data from a website storing it as a sql database/ dictionary

• IEX-API

  Discontinued The IEX API provides any individual or academic, public or private institution looking to develop applications that require stock market data to access near real-time quote and trade data for all stocks trading on IEX.

  

and im not sure how in helpers.py how they could tell what are the keys in the dictionary the api is returning? is it just any key that's mentioned in f"https://cloud.iexapis.com/stable/stock/{urllib.parse.quote_plus(symbol)}/quote?token={api_key}}/quote?token={api_key})? (ie. companyName, latestPrice, symbol). if so, i could also introduce the key dataGenerationDate as it is mentioned in https://iexcloud.io/docs/api/ (tho irrelevant but if i wanted to, can I?)

  Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.

  

Before directly working on the backend code, I suggest using some tools to experiment with the API a bit first. Only move on to write the actual code once you've figured out how to work with the chosen API. POSTMAN is one such tool, and if you use VSCODE, the REST client extension is a must have. These tools allow you to make HTTP requests directly, and see the response directly, without having to write actual code.
