SUMMARY:Working with Hierarchical and Web-based Data
DESCRIPTION:This intermediate-level workshop equips researchers with 
 essential skills for collecting\, managing\, and analyzing web-based data 
 through APIs and hierarchical data structures. Participants will learn to 
 construct and execute API requests to retrieve data from web services\, 
 authenticate with OAuth protocols\, and convert semi-structured formats 
 like JSON and XML into rectangular datasets suitable for analysis in R. 
 Using modern R tools including httr2\, jsonlite\, and the tidyverse\, 
 researchers will develop robust workflows for cleaning\, manipulating\, and 
 merging datasets from multiple web sources. The workshop emphasizes 
 practical applications with digital trace data\, covering rate limiting 
 strategies\, error handling\, and best practices for storing and 
 visualizing large web datasets. Participants will work with real APIs 
 including the World Bank Development Indicators\, New York Times Article 
 Search\, and Reddit APIs to gain hands-on experience with contemporary data 
 collection methods. For full participation in the hands-on exercises\, 
 attendees should register for a free New York Times developer account prior 
 to the workshop. Basic familiarity with R and data manipulation using the 
 tidyverse is recommended.
