Hi,

I would be very interested in attending and in learning the topic, but I have another meeting I cannot move during that time. Would it be possible to access a recording? But if not, I completely understand.

Thank you, and I hope you are doing well.

Agnes

Please join your RDAP colleagues on April 22, 2020 @ 1:00 pm EST for the RDAP Town Hall “Ask Me Anything” series webinar “Using APIs for Non-Programmers”.



Webinar Description:



Application programming interfaces -- "APIs" -- are a key way that systems make functionality and detailed information available.  Long available only to software developers, modern APIs are quite accessible to the human user, even those with no programming skills!



This webinar will cover:



- why you might want to access APIs

- how to formulate API requests using a web browser

- how to do the same using other freely available tools

- how to interpret and work with responses

- how to translate API documentation to API requests

- examples of APIs drawn from repository, preprint, and identifier systems

- next steps to crawling information from APIs



The webinar is specifically targeted at those working in libraries and library-like settings, who may want  or even need to access APIs, but who have no programming or command line experience.



Greg Janée is director of the Data Curation Program at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a certified Carpentry instructor.  He's been a researcher and developer in the areas of digital libraries and digital preservation for over twenty years.  As a software developer, most recently he was principal developer of the California Digital Library's EZID persistent identifier service; earlier, he was principal developer of UCSB's Alexandria Digital Library, Gazetteer Protocol, and related technologies.
