Python and JSON

Python and JSON In-Person

This workshop uses the National Library of Medicine’s Drug Interaction web services to demonstrate how to gain access to data available through a RESTful API through Python.

This workshop is intended as a follow up to basic Python, Pandas, and SQL. Researchers who have taken initial courses often have familiarity with basic Python data structures such as lists, data frames, and dictionaries, but may not have worked with nested tree structures.  In addition to reviewing web services, REST, and JSON, this workshop will teach participants how to traverse a tree structure and convert it to other data structures, such as a tabular dataframe, prior to analysis.  

Prerequisites: Introduction to Python, familiarity with Jupyter notebook
