Introduction to Web APIs – April 1, 2021

APIs (Application Programing Interfaces) are a major way to access data from both free and licensed sources. Come to this session to learn: what is an API? Which APIs do you have access to, as a researcher or student at the University of Toronto? How do you request a key in order to access these APIs? And, when is using an API a good idea?

A link to join the event online will be sent to registrants.

This talk is part of Snacking on Bits and Bytes: Learning on all things Data, an online webinar series hosted by the Map & Data Library that features presentations and demonstrations on data-related topics and tools, such as web archives, visualization, GIS and statistics.
