Submitted by admin on Fri, 08/06/2021 - 23:07

we've got some boilerplate to access the site with sqlalchemy

The database won't be accessible remotely - so those looking to interface with the content should get on slack and ask about getting their accounts set up :)

Reviewing Visa API on and a vendor API on Jupyterhub

Submitted by admin on Sat, 07/31/2021 - 21:57

After considering the MVP for improving credit scores with the lowest lift it looks like we're going to start with the Visa API

this is a good first step, and while it won't provide access to higher interest rates like a USDC stablecoin account would, it's one less step and allows us to work with traditional finance mechanisms.  

on the python side 

pip install --upgrade visa --user

to work with the visa API tools in jupyterhub
