Good excercise, had to research how to parse a webpage and a Json file, which was really helpful

From the solution I see I varied on how to filter not using the RegEx.

Slightly messy solution, so interested in being more efficient, but pleased with how I got to the outcome. A good reminder of Dynamic Rename!

Okay, this one got really messy, haha.

Not used to work with JSON, first time, and did a bit too much parsing, but managed the challenge at least 🙂

How to do it as a beginner?

There couldn't be a better way to show off Alteryx's download skills to show web scrapping abilities for heavy data download from structured sources

  • Plug in the Download Tool coupled with a JSON parse
  • Play a bit with Cross Tab and voila!

This was a very nice challenge, I've never used the JSON Parse tool before.
