Work with APIs in Apache Airflow
Learn to work with APIs in Apache Airflow. This course will teach you how to use the HttpOperator to make and process API calls and integrate them into a directed acyclic graph (DAG).
What you'll learn
Many data workflows require effective orchestration of API calls, which can be challenging without the right tools.
In this course, Working with APIs in Apache Airflow, you’ll gain the ability to efficiently manage and integrate API workflows into your data pipelines.
First, you’ll explore using HttpOperators to make API calls.
Next, you’ll discover how to process API responses and handle data.
Finally, you’ll learn how to integrate these API calls into a directed acyclic graph (DAG).
When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of working with APIs in Apache Airflow needed to streamline and automate your data workflows.
