The workshop covers how to use the Ensembl REST APIs, including understanding the major endpoints and how to write Python/R scripts to call them. It is important to note that this course will not introduce you to the Ensembl browser and data types or provide an introduction to programming in Python or R. <b class="">Proficiency in Python or R and attendance at an Ensembl browser workshop are required to register for the REST API course.</b></span></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><u class="">Schedule:</u></div><div class="">Wednesday 3rd February 2021, 2-4:15pm (GMT). <span class="" style="caret-color: rgb(85, 85, 85);">Overview of the REST API and how to query the REST API with URLs.
