The first one is to format the data sets that I have found to make it easier to read in as a JSON file and remove the rest of the extra data I won&#8217;t be using. Next, we looked briefly through a past student&#8217;s code that had a similar project a few years ago. So looking through that, I feel like I have a great jumping-off point to start working through code over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So overall, it was not a super productive week because of being stuck figuring out how to get an API key. But, this weekend I am going to work on formatting the data using VLookups and then looking at possibilities to change the base map because I don&#8217;t love the current one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The start of this week was slow going because I could not figure out how to get an API Key.
