Reading Data from APIs with Python, JSON, and Web Services In-Person
NOTE: Please register for this workshop using your UC email address.
In this workshop, we'll use Python to read data directly from Web APIs. This will also provide our first opportunity in this workshop series to start investigating real world data that may be relevant to your research or analysis. We will use the Internet Archive API to search the tobacco archives and other UCSF collections, and the National Library of Medicine's JSON based web service to investigate drug interactions.
