This Python package retrieves data from the FBI's Most Wanted API and formats the information in a thorn-separated (þ) format. The package allows you to retrieve data either by specifying a page number from the API or by loading a local JSON file for testing purposes.
The output contains the title, subjects, and FBI field offices associated with each record in the API, separated by a thorn character (þ).
We can run the program in 2 ways. Either by specifying a page from the FBI API or by using a local JSON file. (!!Make sure you have the virtual environment activated.!!) And also make sure that you have installed pipenv requests pytests.
Running with API : "pipenv run python main.py --page 1"
Running with Local File: "pipenv run python main.py --file <path_to_json_file>"
main.py - This is the entry point of the program where it calls the appropriate functions based on the input.
download.py download_data(page):
Downloads data from the FBI API for the specified page. process_data(data):
Processes the downloaded data to format the title, subjects, and field offices with thorn separators (þ). read_from_file(file_path):
Reads data from a local JSON file for testing.
To run the tests, use pytest: "pipenv run pytest"
