To access data, we will use Biopython and the REST API (we used a similar approach in Chapter 3, Working with Genomes) with the requests library to access web APIs. The requests API is an easy-to-use wrapper for web requests that can be installed using standard Python mechanisms (for example, pip and conda). You can find this content in the Chapter07/Intro.ipynb Notebook file.
