Week 4 Preparation issue9 - Largest Earthquake in UK

[dp0768]

Here is my solution to Issue #9 for RSE classwork.

I found it most difficult to convert the website data into a Python dictionary object. My script fetches the data in the geojson format, but this is not suitable for Python and can't simply be passed into json.dumps(). However, I found out that response has an attribute which converts the geojson data to the correct format by typing "response." and then the following list appeared:

Technically, I didn't have to pass the new variable (response_json) into a json.dumps(), however, I did do this so I could alter the formatting in the json file. That way the format was much more user-friendly allowing me to more easily complete the rest of the task.

My final response:

Loaded 120 events
The strongest earthquake was at [-2.15, 52.52] with magnitude 4.8
