Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to query RESTful web services using Python and R. In addition to learning how to execute raw GET requests with both languages, you've also learned how to parallelize multiple calls to the same endpoint by taking advantage of the multithreading capabilities of your machine. Moreover, you've also come across some SDKs of the Bing Maps Locations API, both for Python and R, which make accessing the data much easier. Finally, you've seen how all of this is easily implemented in Power BI.
In the next chapter, you'll see how to enrich your data by applying complex algorithms to the data you already have. In this way, you will create new variables that give a new light to your data, making it more useful to reach your goal.
