Getting Data from Anywhere: A Practical Introduction to APIs
Ever wondered how websites, mobile apps, and business systems share information? The answer is often APIs. In this session, we'll break down what APIs are, how they work, and how developers and analysts use them to access data from external systems. We'll explore requests, responses, authentication, and common data formats like JSON. Whether you're new to APIs or looking to better understand how modern applications communicate, this presentation will provide practical knowledge you can apply immediately.
Using this as a simple introduction to APIs and probably have code examples for gathering data from simple APIs. If there is interest after this session, I would be happy to do a more data engineering focus one in the future. Ingesting data into a larger architecture and leverage data for more downstream platforms. Along with discussing things to consider when ingesting a data source.
