Retrieving data using API authentication

An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of configurations that allows two systems or applications to communicate or transmit data with each other. Its concept has been improved in recent years, allowing faster transmissions and more security with OAuth methods, preventing Denial of Service (DoS) or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and so on.

Its use is widely applied in data ingesting, whether to retrieve data from an application to retrieve the latest logs for analysis or from BigQuery using a cloud provider such as Google. Most applications nowadays make their data available through an API service, from which the data world gets a lot of benefits. The critical aspect here is to know how to retrieve data from an API service using the most accepted forms of authentication.

In this recipe, we will retrieve data from a public API using API key authentication, a standard method to gather data.
