Introduction to Kaggle
Introduction
Kaggle is the world’s most famous open data hub, offering an endless variety of data and hosting numerous competitions. While not every dataset is available on Kaggle, there is no type of data that isn’t. If you’re tackling a project for a statistics or machine learning class, Kaggle should be your first stop.
Requirements
Although registration is required, it’s practically unrestricted thanks to Google integration. English might be a barrier to entry, but the community is full of data scientists, so the language used is not overly complex.
Once you’re a member, you can use Kaggle’s own API to download data quickly and reliably, so if you’re dealing with relatively large datasets, it’s worth giving it a try: How to download data using the kaggle API
