Week 5 viz: Found data viz

For this week’s viz, I would like you to try one (or more!) of the methods of finding data I outlined in the slides. Here are some R files that might help you if you want to use a more complex way:

• using_APIs.qmd
• scraping.qmd
• OCR.qmd

Once you’ve found some data, make a basic visualization of it. Like most assignments in this class, I’m looking for two documents here:

• A rendered Quarto doc that shows me your code and explains where the data came from, and what your visualization shows. This should be a “the visualization shows [whatever the big ‘so what’ is]” type sentence, not a “a bar chart displays the distribution of a categorical variable” sentence.
• A visualization, saved as an image (jpg, png, pdf, etc)

One hint for your Quarto doc is that it needs to have embed-resources: true in the YAML (the first few lines of the document).
