Abstract
An application programming interface (API) is a tool that provides access to data or services. This workshop will introduce the use of APIs to obtain data from sources such as Survey Monkey, Twitter, or Data.gov. While familiarity with Python and/or R is helpful, no programming experience is necessary to attend this workshop.
