What Is an API? Using Google Sheets to Load Data through the REST API Online

The application programming interface (API) is a tool used to share content and data between software applications. Many scholarly publishers, databases, and products offer APIs to allow users with programming skills to efficiently extract data to serve a variety of research purposes. In this workshop, we will introduce the basics of API and use OpenFEC API (Federal Election Commission) as an example to demonstrate how to load data to Google Sheets.
