Don't have too much to show here but I can just describe my goal. I'm trying to make a tap that collects energy demand data from the caiso website. The url being hit to retrieve archived demand data contains the date eg. "https://www.caiso.com/.../20230727/...?_=random numbers" I have been trying some different stuff, but I fear a lack of understanding of how the tap is actually working is prohibitive to any actual progress. Anyone have any ideas where to start?

You do need to know what API requests you want to make so making the API requests in a tool like Postman / thunder client is a good place to go too

Okay, thank you, I know that I want to cycle through all possible dates and pull the demand data for each. The API has a base format for the url but the date is variable. I want to essentially iterate through a range of dates and pull from each page. Is there a specific area of the dev guide I should be looking at?

Not really a specific page, no there's examples you could look at but you'd have to dive in a bit to understand them. It helps a lot if you can be more specefic in questions for slack you have so I'd recommend doing the dev guide, trying to get something working (get something working in postman/thunderclient) and coming back with questions
