API Project
This project aims to teach students how to use APIs effectively, perform a variety of tasks such as looking up data and creating charts with that data, and how to create an effective website that uses these APIs. I created a website that used an API from the Open Data from NYC (a COVID-19 data source) for my API project. With this data, I used an API chart visualizer to produce data on the cases and hospitalization cases from the COVID-19 data. I used a calendar that allowed users to input a date, and it would return 7 days of data. I learned how to create a calendar on a website and implement it on a website so that the data is retrieved from the API. I also learned how to use these APIs and process the data from them to be displayed well. It was a frustrating yet exciting and satisfying project. I learned a lot from this project, not just implementing ideas and concepts that I learned in class, but also learning more from outside sources.

API Project
https://misdemo.temple.edu/tuj62585/API%20Project-%20Jacob%20Guo/nyc_monuments.html
git@github.com:jguo323/api_project-JGuo.git
The API used is a based on New York Monuments. The pie chart will show how each borough compares to each other when it comes to number of monuments. The line graph can map out the increase of monuments in each borough over the years. The charts may help people who are interested in monuments select the best borough to visit. The first graph shows a pie chart of the 5 boroughs of New York (Staten Island, Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx). This chart will show the number of monuments in each borough and how they compare to each other. The second graph is a line chart of two lines representing the boroughs with the most amount of monuments. It will show the pace at which each borough erect monuments over the past 100 years. The x axis represents the year and the y axis displays the number of monuments that exists in the borough that given year. The charts can show people where to visit in New York City based on their location. People may be attracted to area with more monuments and visit based on that information.
API Project
- In this project, our goal was to cumulatively test HTML and Javascript skills learned in MIS 2402. I had to know how to extract information from .json files and serialize that data so that it could be utilized by an Image Charts API to show the desired graphs of trends and compositions of the data. In my project, I explored the relationship between the number of students schools sent to take the SAT and their respective mean math SAT scores. I utilized a second API to explore the average SAT score of schools by each reading, writing, and math section.

API Project MIS2402
https://github.com/sallen222/NBAchartproject
https://misdemo.temple.edu/tuj22400/API_Project_FINAL/
This project uses the balldontlie and image-charts APIs to compare the stats of each nba starter this season to their stats from last season using radar charts. It utilizes a drop-down menu that features each NBA team and when the refresh button is clicked, the charts are generated. The balldont lie API was used to retrieve the season average stats for each player as well as their name and games played. The image-charts API was used to produce the radar charts for data-visualization using the data provided by balldontlie. This project taught me how to successfully pull and manipulate data from an API to use in a project.
API Project – Spring 2022
The purpose of this project was to create a dynamic, web-based chart using API data of my choice to provide meaningful insight into said data. The data I decided to use for this project was eviction data for NYC which was first entered in 2017 and is still being updated daily. Using these charts I identified trends in eviction rates by year and highlighted eviction rate percentages for each borough of NYC.

API Project
Spring 2022 – MIS2402
Professor Konstantin Bauman
The goal of this project was to create a simple application that uses Web APIs. I retrieved data from website and JSON file, which I used the most in the JavaScript code in order for the application to work. The html and JavaScript code in this project were all the topics I’ve learned from the course MIS2402. Topics such as JavaScript functions, conditional statements, arithmetic expressions and loops.
The application shows two charts, one to show differences between amount of sidewalk cafes in each New York areas. The other shows the differences and number of active and inactive sidewalk cafes.
The link (Github) shows the html code for the website as well as access to the charts.
NYC Arrest Data API
NYC Arrest Data API Project
The goal of this project is to work with an API using various jquery methods to retrieve and prepare the data which would be sent to another API responsible for generating an image chart. The API used for the data was https://data.cityofnewyork.us/resource/uip8-fykc.json, which is provided by the NYPD. The API used for generating the chart is https://www.image-charts.com/. The results would include graphs that change overtime as the NYPD updates their records.
More specifically, the purpose of this project is to depict NYC arrest data which would be useful to policy makers, authorities and even someone looking to buy a home in NYC. The first page depicts the number of arrests by borough when the user clicks the refresh button. The second page depicts the top three common offenses arrested for in each borough after the user selects a borough from the drop down.
I am glad I had the opportunity to complete this project as I enjoyed completing it and learning along the way. I learned new skills such as the jquery $.getJSON method which allows me to retrieve and manipulate data from JSON formatted data stored in an API. I also learned how to transform that data and code it into an APIs URL encoded image chart.

Social Media Analytics Research
In MIS2502, a course focusing on data and analytics, I was given the opportunity to share additional research on a related topic. As I have an interest in social media analytics, I chose to research this topic.
In the following brief writeup, I discuss the transformation of data into information through analysis and how this is useful in social media sites. I relate this process to the one we learned about in the course through the relational databases of pivot tables. For a company, the end goal of social media analytics is to learn about their customers and how their business is perceived. This can be answered through data visualizations, which allow users of various experience levels to draw conclusions from the provided data. Through my research of social media analytics, I was able to learn more about a topic of interest, share my findings, and relate them to course materials.
