Resource: Web Scraping: Working with APIs

APIs present researchers with a diverse set of data sources through a standardised access mechanism: send a pasted together HTTP request, receive JSON or XML in return. Today we tap into a range of APIs to get comfortable sending queries and processing responses. These are the slides from the final class in Web Scraping through R: Web scraping for the humanities and social sciences.
