I’m totally new to DS, and I’m working on my first project.

Should I use data via an API and clean it at the beginning of my script or should I download it as a CSV and then clean it?

Also what’s the best approach for cleaning a dataset?

Just for reference, I’m using the NYC Building Energy and Water Data Disclosure for LL84 2023 to Present database via an API.
