Development Notes
7/7: Project start
- I am utilizing the
pandaslibrary to read and write CSV files in order to access the inputted CSV files. From there, I am simplifying the names of the companies using several functions from the aiding program, glink, to get rid of company identifiers such as "Co., INC., LLC., etc. and form the company names in a manner that is accessible by the Google Search API.
fec['name_clean'] = fec["newname"].map(glink.remCorp)
fec['download_status'] = fec['name_clean'].map(glink.gdownload)
- Attempted to use program on 1500 Startup company names but ran into a KeyError with the JSON files. I am not able to access specific keys in each data
