From SQL to REST: Demystifying REST API

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.
