At this point, we hope you are equipped with the techniques of creating and customizing plots using Matplotlib. Let's build on top of the things we have learned so far, and begin our journey of understanding more advanced Matplotlib usage through real-world examples.

First, we will cover how to fetch online data, which is commonly obtained through an application programming interface (API) or plain old web scraping techniques. Next, we will explore how to integrate Matplotlib 2.x with other scientific computing packages in Python for visualizations of different data types.
