20 Introduction to Open Source APIs
Martha Norrick, Chief Analytics Officer, NYC  

Ever think there has to be an easier way than downloading data from Open Data or the US Census website? Do you want to get coordinates of addresses for mapping?

Join Martha Norrick, NYC’s Chief Analytics Officer, to learn how to use the Open Data, US Census, and Geoclient APIs to access data directly without all the clicking. In this session, you will use Python to read data from NYC Open Data and the US Census American Community Survey, and enrich address information with geocoding.

What to know or have before attending this session:
- Everyone is welcome, but you'll get the most out of this if you have experience with Python and Pandas!
- A laptop or tablet with a keyboard
- A Google account, as we’ll be using Google Colab to run our code
- Register for a Census API key: https://api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html
- Register on NYC’s API portal to access the Geoclient API https://api-portal.nyc.gov/
