I'm trying to make an API request to get data from the charts on this page: [beemaps link](https://beemaps.com/network/contributors/splendid-fuschia-honeybee). However, when I retrieve the data, the charts come up blank. This is my first attempt at doing something like this, so I could really use some help! What am I doing wrong? Also, are there any resources you recommend to help me learn more about working with APIs? Thanks! I used the app (API Test) and this is the code I'm working with:
`curl -X GET 'https://beemaps.com/network/contributors/splendid-fuschia-honeybee'`

It looks like your GET request is working since you're getting a response, but you might not be processing the data correctly after that. What are you doing with the data you retrieve? If you're trying to extract data from the charts to put into Google Sheets, you'll need to make sure you're targeting the specific elements that contain the data you're interested in.
If you're looking for resources, sites like freeCodeCamp or Codecademy have great tutorials on APIs and data handling. They can help you understand how to process and display data properly. Also, don’t forget to check the API documentation; it often provides insights into the data structure you're dealing with.
Thanks! I'll look into that documentation to see if I’m missing anything.
I had a similar issue before! Make sure you're parsing the response correctly—check if the data is nested inside any objects, you might need to dig a bit to find what you need.
