Day 15 - Steps to Import JSON Data-Set in POWER BI & Refresh data-set created from web source in POWER BI

We are going to use COVID19-India API (https://api.covid19india.org/) to learn this technique.

Step 1 : Open POWER BI Desktop

Step 2: Navigate to Get Data > Web
Enter Web URL of your choice & Click OK
           
           


           

Step 3:  A new pop up window will appear. You have to click on Connect.

In this section, we are also going to share steps which need to be performed to import JSON data-set

I am  interested in state-wise data of COVID-19. So select statewise & click on List

Thereafter all record data would appear under list. So you have to click on 'To Table' menu option.

Once you click on 'To Table' menu option , data gets expanded into a record form & thereafter you have to click on symbol#'
' to convert records into columns .






Do necessary data-modeling and click on 'Close & Apply' menu option.

Step 4: I have used the data-set to create a POWER BI Report & also published it to POWER BI SERVICE.



Step 5: Next step is to search for the data-set at the POWER BI Service and schedule the refresh.


I could see that icon - 'Schedule Refresh' is available at the data-set. So this data-set is ready to be scheduled.

So click on 'Schedule Refresh' . A new web-page will open where you have to enter requested details for 'Scheduled Refresh' section only as shown below.


Yeah, you have scheduled the daily refresh successfully & you are also ready to explore the web world in POWER BI !!!

Day 32 - Python Script to track Available COVID-19 Vaccine Slots for 18+ in India

Image
 Booking a COVID-19 vaccination slot reminds me of good old days of booking a TATKAL ticket in   Indian train. If you are lucky and very fast with Keyboard then we would be able to book the train   ticket  under TATKAL quota. Otherwise Surprise !!!  Same rule applies here too but we don't have idea about the next available slot timings for vaccination. When is the next slot going to open ? Still it's a suspense for us. By the time we come to know that there are few slots available, CoWIN portal ( https://www.cowin.gov.in/home ) shows that it's already booked. I have observed that people are struggling to find an available slots in their locality. So I thought of writing a python script using public API to track the available COVID-19 vaccine slots in the entire city. Task for interested folks who want to send an alert to a group/channel: Please trigger an email or message on WhatsApp/Telegram group whenever you get any data in the output file - "18plus...

Any suggestions or inputs would be greatly appreciated !!!  TABLE 3 Name T...
