R and APIs - Statistics Denmark In-Person

About the winter school

As a new initiative, KUB Datalab has organised a so-called winter school. The aim is to give participants the opportunity to engage intensively with R for an entire week. You will therefore be able to tailor a programme that suits your specific needs and level of experience. Please note that you must register for each course individually.

In short, it is up to you whether you wish to register for one or more courses.

The winter school is organised in collaboration between Copenhagen University Library and Roskilde University Library.

About the course

APIs provide access to a multitude of information.

In this course we cover how to extract data though APIs using the Statistics Denmark and i can haz dad joke APIs as examples.

The course material can be found on this website. Please make sure that you have followed the under "Setup" to install R and Positron as well as some additional packages.

The course requires some previous knowledge of R. We will assume that you are familiar with:

  • Navigating in Positron, and how to interact with R
  • Datatypes, variables and objects
  • Simple arithmetic and logical operations on data
  • Working with functions - and how to write a very simple function ourself
  • Import data into R
  • Summary statistics 
  • Manipulating data frames

These topics are covered in our introductory courses in R.
