This week’s assignment was more difficult than most for me because not only did I have to come up with an idea for the visualization but finding which API information I wanted to use. Finding an API was difficult; a lot of them required you to disclose why you were going to use it and you had to apply and then get approved. I ended up using Spotify, but I had difficulty because only some of my API requests originally worked; sometimes they would say that I didn’t have access. Accessing the data within wasn’t very difficult; I just followed the path through the array to find what I wanted. I decided to take artists that have died and then show how many followers they have and how popular they are in the United States. I think it’s interesting that despite their death, their music continues to be increasingly popular. I also added pictures of them at their peak to add more to the visual aspect.
