Date: July 12th
Time: 11:00 a.m. EDT
Description: There is a vast amount of data available on the web, and much of it is accessible via APIs.
Sources ranging from the US Census Bureau to the NOAA National Weather Service to S3 buckets and online databases can be reached programmatically from within R.
This webinar will cover the basics, and some of the pitfalls, of calling web APIs from within R, including read/write operations, headers, authentication, error handling, and response parsing.
Logistics: Only 1,000 live attendees are allowed in the Webinar on a first come first serve basis. It is typical for many people who register to not attend (which is why registration does not guarantee access.) If for any reason you cannot make the webinar or cannot get in we will provide links to the recording as well as all materials within 48 hours.
