Application programming interface (API) is a way for developers and data analysts to quickly retrieve data from an application, website or database for day to day use. It can be as simple as getting the weather forecast from a weather API or it could be more advanced, such as auto-publishing a picture to your social media account.

One of our trusted data analyst will happily help broaden your understanding of the system and answer all of your questions in this 30 minute, bitesize training session from the comfort of your own desk.

You will be sent a phone number so you can join a conference call and a URL so you will be able to see our computer screen, then in the session we will work through various sections of the site to show you how it works.
