Getting and cleaning data

The url to make API calls is https://api.crunchbase.com/v3.1/csv_export/csv_export.tar.gz?user_key=[API KEY GOES HERE]

API key (premium) is located at E:\projects\crunchbase3

The command line (bash script) to get the data and extract the data (1.9gb) is at E:\projects\crunchbase3\get_data.sh

Alternatively, we can download and extract directly using windows command prompt by typing the following commands

curl -O https://api.crunchbase.com/v3.1/csv_export/csv_export.tar.gz?user_key=[API key goes here] \
      
tar -xvf csv_export.tar.gz_user_key=[API key goes here].

The sql script get_data.sql from last year is copied to the current Crunchbase3 directory. However, two databases are very different now and adjustments are necessary. Hiep will fix it on 03/22/2019.
