In this chapter, we covered the steps involved in the creation of the app on GitHub as well as the procedure for the installation and authentication using the GitHub package for R. We also discussed the public data that can be accessed using the GitHub API from R, implementation of some graphical and nongraphical EDA techniques on the GitHub data, and how to perform, as well as, interpret the correlation analysis.
By implementing the various EDA techniques and exploring the questions that were answered using it, we get a better understanding of when to use what kind of techniques for easier communication.
In the next chapter we will explore APIs of a few more social media sites such as LinkedIn, Tumblr, Wikipedia, Google Maps, Blogger, Foursquare and Quora. We will also cover use-cases that can be implemented.
