Workshop Overview

Wishing you could just tap into existing sources of structured data? Contemplating a project with data provided through an API? Wondering what an API is and how to use it?

Join us to learn more about the typical structures of data-focused APIs, pick up some new terminology, and practice using an API to obtain data! We’ll also cover strategies for working with more difficult or unusual APIs.

Technical Requirements: Please download OpenRefine in advance of this workshop. No programming experience is needed, but some willingness to code will help you make the most of APIs.
