<p class="MsoPlainText">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”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Webinar Description:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This webinar will cover:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- why you might want to access APIs<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- how to formulate API requests using a web browser<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- how to do the same using other freely available tools<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- how to interpret and work with responses<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- how to translate API documentation to API requests<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- examples of APIs drawn from repository, preprint, and identifier systems<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">- next steps to crawling information from APIs<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
