Good sources of external data
Thank you for sharing these good sources of external data. I hope that as we progress in the course, we will be taught to extract data from these sources and how to analyze them practically. I am enjoying the course.

Great question
After browsing some of them, data can be acquired through two main ways
1- downloadable files in excel, csv and pdf formats (the easy way)
2- extractable APIs or web scraping and that can be made through a programming language like python (this is best explained through another course here called Web Scrapping and API Fundamentals)
