Challenge 4: Rick and Morty Characters Catalog
Level: Medium
Description: You work for an entertainment company that wants to analyze various TV shows to gain insights into audience preferences. Your next project focuses on transforming data from the show “Rick and Morty” into a structured dataset that can be easily analyzed and queried. As a first step, you need to extract a complete list of characters featured in the series. However, the API that provides this information is paginated, returning separate JSON files for each page. How can you use the KNIME Analytics Platform to retrieve and merge all these pages into one unified catalog of the show’s characters?
Dataset: Use the "https://rickandmortyapi.com/api" url.
Beginner-friendly objective: 1. Successfully send a Get Request to receive the characters data from the API
Intermediate-friendly objectives: 1. Implement a recursive loop to handle paginated API responses and ensure all data is collected. 2. Unify all the pages into a table with 2 string columns, id and character name.
