A more minimal data api. :)

    requests.get('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/janaipakos/ghibliapi/master/data.json').json()

Now it can be loaded into Pandas for analysis. Even if I was building an app I'd want to own the data 1) so my users aren't being logged by the API service 2) control over the uptime 3) lower latency 4) flexibility of serving the data, such as generating static pages.
