*Eventbrite developer accountfor McNair:{first name: Anne, last name: Dayton, email: admin@mcnaircenter.org, password: amount}*Eventbrite API is well-documented and its database readily accessible. In the python dev environment, I am using the http '''requests''' library to make queries to the database, to obtain json data containing event objects that in turn contain organizer objects, venue objects, start/end time values, longitude/latitude values specific to each event. The '''requests''' library has inbuilt .json() access methods, simplifying the json reading/writing process.**In querying for events organized by techstar, one of the biggest startup programs organization in the U.S., I use the following. Note that the organizer ID of techstar is 2300226659. import requests response = requests.get( "https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/organizers/2300226659/events/", headers = { "Authorization": "Bearer CRAQ5MAXEGHKEXSUSWXN", }, verify = True, )**In querying for, instead, keywords such as "startup weekend," I use: import requests response = requests.get( "https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/events/search/q="startup weekend"", headers = { "Authorization": "Bearer CRAQ5MAXEGHKEXSUSWXN", }, verify = True, )**In querying for events parked under the category "science and technology", I use the following. However, this query also returns scientific seminars unrelated to entrepreneurship and is yet to be refined. Note that the category ID of science and technology is 102. import requests response = requests.get( "https://www.eventbriteapi.com/v3/categories/102", headers = { "Authorization": "Bearer CRAQ5MAXEGHKEXSUSWXN", }, verify = True, )**In each case, var <code>response</code> is a json object, that can be read/written in python using the requests method <code>response.json()</code>. Each endpoint used above are instances of e.g. GET events/search/ or GET categories/:id. There are different parameters each GET function can harness to get more specific results. To populate a comprehensive local database, I am thinking about looking into running systematic queries from different endpoints and collecting all results, without repetition, in a centralized database. In order to do this, I'll have to familarize further with these GET functions and develop a systematic approach to automate queries to the eventbrite server. One way to do this is**The dream is to systematically run
