Analyze City Data Using R and Tableau
Use R and RStudio to create a function to make requests to the OpenStreeMaps.org API using address from the San Francisco buildings permits dataset
Explore and filter the San Francisco's buildings permits data. Transform it using basic string cleaning techniques to generate a new clean dataset
Leverage Tableau to analyze a dataset based on San Francisco's buildings permits dataset to gain insights on the metropolitan are development
By the end of this project, you will create, clean, explore and analyze San Francisco’s building permit public data. We will use OpenStreetMap API to find the geo-coordinates of buildings using R and RStudio and we will analyze the final results in Tableau. You will learn basic data cleaning techniques using R, create a function to make requests to the OpenStreeMaps API and leverage Tableau to generate insights. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We're currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
