Course Description

The vast majority of useful data in the world can be found on the internet, including news and economic data as well as geographical information. This course will teach you how to find it.

This course will show you how to access Wikipedia data, create an API client and use APIs (computer-readable protocols that allow websites to communicate with one another). In cases where APIs are not available, you'll learn how R can extract information from web pages. It will be possible to extract data from any website, and then convert it into a format that is easily accessible for further analysis. You will learn how to use rvest, htr and specific API client packages like WikipediR and pageviews.
