		117	# The basics of being a data scientist
		118
		119	* Have a hypothesis � even if you’re making a tool/api that helps people with their questions too, remember what the objective of that is.
		120	* Find the people and tools you need to prove/show/find. This rest of this page will help with the latter.
		121	* Analyse and present results � were they what you expected? Do they help explain to others what you have found out? Can present as a interactive data visualisation or a web/mobile application or just a infographic/motion graphics video that tells a story.
2013-03-07 22:18:14	Maxious	122	Please note, there are a combination of Analysis and Visualisation tools in each of the major categories below.

		129	A good web based data API:
2013-04-01 08:05:26	Alex Sadleir	130
2013-03-01 01:11:15	Maxious	131	* Is logically organised
2013-04-01 08:05:26	Alex Sadleir	132	* Can filter returned data
2013-03-24 05:01:56	Alex Sadleir	133	* Can return results in different open formats (CSV/JSON etc.)
2012-09-29 13:05:38	Maxious	134	* Is efficient and responsive by using caching and databases appropriately
		135	* Handles errors gracefully
2013-03-24 05:01:56	Alex Sadleir	136	* Monitors and controls access (to show benefit realised of API and prevent abuse)
2013-02-27 10:12:02	Alex Sadleir	137	* Provides appropriate documentation with examples
		138
		139	Some people like sensis [http://](http://developers.sensis.com.au/)[developers.sensis.com.<wbr>au</wbr>](http://developers.sensis.com.au/)[/](http://developers.sensis.com.au/) use a provider like[http://](http://mashery.com/)[mashery.com](http://mashery.com/)[/](http://mashery.com/) or [https](https://apigee.com/)[://](https://apigee.com/)[apigee.com](https://apigee.com/) or [http://](http://apiaxle.com/)[apiaxle.com](http://apiaxle.com/)[/](http://apiaxle.com/) or [http://www.3scale.net/](http://www.3scale.net/) which handles making a good API for them.
