Open Access Week: Working with Open APIs

October 21, 2019

Butler Library, 535 W. 114 St., New York, NY 10027 The Studio at Butler (208b)
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a way for one program to communicate with another. In this workshop, we will use the Python programming language to explore an API, reasoning about what data is available and extracting it for use in projects or to answer research questions. Participants should bring a laptop with a version of Python 3 installed, preferably Anaconda. Anaconda can be downloaded here: https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/ While some familiarity with Python may be a help, knowledge of the language isn’t necessary for this workshop.
