Data is from: http://open-api.myhelsinki.fi/

The MyHelsinki Open API is an open interface of three databases maintained by Helsinki Marketing. It offers up-to-date information about places, events and activities in and around Helsinki for commercial purposes or the city’s development.

API endpoints

Endpoint	Method	Description

/recom/events/{id}	GET	Returns name of the event with given id and array of recommencations

Data cleaning

Repo contains etl.py script that is used for extracting, transforming and loading data. It fetches all events and places from the API and removes duplicates with matching names. Resulting dataframes are saved in serialized form for faster handling.
