The intended audience of this course is data scientists and other people involved in data analysis rather than career programmers. There will be some light discussion of good programming principles, but only as they pertain to good data science practices. The goal is to take participants from a low level of familiar with Python to performing simple data manipulations. At the end of the workshop, you should leave with a solid foundation to continue your own learning and experimenting with the language.

An application programming interface (API) is a tool that allows computers to communicate and share information. For social scientists, APIs can be useful for accessing data or services from firms, organizations, or government agencies. This workshop will introduce the use of APIs to obtain data from sources such as Survey Monkey, Twitter, or Data.gov. This workshop is intended for social scientists who are new to working with APIs, but have some familiarity with Python or have attended the Introduction to Python workshop.
