Now, obviously, there's a lot more we could do with this data than what we’ll cover in this short video, because working with stock data is not the focus of this course. But as a demonstration of just the start of showing how we can work with this API data—we can do whatever we want with it.
It's our data now. Considering that, let's do a little challenge. We want to use this data frame we made to find the highest price and its date.
When did Apple hit its high, and what was that price? That's our challenge. As a bonus, you could also find the lowest price and the date it occurred in the data frame. We'll take a look at how we could do both of these in just a moment.
But take a moment—see if you can solve it on your own.
