I went about searching for datasets and APIs online, but didn't really get creative enough to ask specific questions and using the data to answer them...some places I'm exploring...

FlightAware API: I used this in the past for a different project. I recall needing to pay some pennies per query, but there is a lot of data found here and we can likely share the same API key.

Skyscanner API: Same as above...just relaying ones I've used before. I think this one was free.

FoodData Central API: I was exploring this one last class. I got an API key, but haven't been able to look deeper into it.

MoneyPuck API: It's just a lot of updated+historical data for hockey players, teams, etc. I'm a hockey fan, so this was also something that came to mind. The data comes in downloadable CSVs and you can run the requests package to set up a script that pulls from it. No API key required. Again...not sure what questions to answer here, however I did hear about a recent study that correlates team success with US state tax rates.

Fire away any ideas!
