How to Get Data Through APIs with R & {httr2} | Ultimate Step-By-Step Tutorial

DESCRIPTION AND CODE
Web APIs are everywhere. So, figuring out how to operate them is often a necessary part for any data scientist. In this vidoe, I give you a detailed guide on the {httr2} package so that you can communicate with any Web API through R. You can find the corresponding blog post (including all the links I've shown in the video) at albert-rapp.de/posts/web_dev/...

Three great videos rolled in to one, using: 1. weather api 2, chatAPi api 3. geocoding api

[@lreco]

I really love that you take users from the very beginning with you :D Thanks!!

[@bassamsaleh8034]

I love your contents and I think all your videos are valuable , but I have to say, this is the most valuable content ever, maybe because nested lists are always a pain in..... 😅. Thank you

[@rappa753]

Thank you, really appreciate that you have followed my content for so long :) And yeah, nested lists are aweful. Doesn't get any easier to deal with them but with a good set of functions it becomes bearable :D

[@zostube]

Brilliant material, although I am very comfortable with Rand tidyverse, I was thinking of using python for my rest API use cases because I thought there wre no comprehensive packages in R to do the same. This video opened my eyes. Thanks a lot

[@rappa753]

I once thought the same thing and then discovered {httr2} 😁 that's why I made the video. Glad this package helped you too 🤗

[@MKhan-zo8xo]

I've actually never heard of this package! Great content as always :D

[@rappa753]

Yeah, this package flies kind of under the radar until you need to call APIs 😬

[@shadyamigo]

Great content as always. I feel you were reading my mind as I was accessing my first OAuth api today and this helped so much

[@rappa753]

Lucky timing, I guess :D But glad it's helpful ☺

[@MrPresonic]

Yup, fantastic stuff again!

[@rappa753]

As always, thank you Paul ☺

[@djangoworldwide7925]

You have really unique content. Love it.

[@rappa753]

Thank you :)

[@NATS7599]

As always, great content!! Can you share what the colored bars are in your qmd file to the left of your code? It’s pink and sometimes goes to green? Thanks in advanced!

[@rappa753]

It's the rainbow Indents from RStudio. You can enable them in the settings. I really enjoy that setting

[@iwoaugustynski9265]

Very good tutorial. Have you tried twitter API?

[@rappa753]

Thank you 🤗 and no I didn't try it. Last time I checked the Twitter api cost a whole lot of money

[@spudsinski]

hello Albert, great video! quick question, how did you set the rainbow indentation in RStudio, is that part of global options now?

[@rappa753]

Yup it's in the settings under code > display > Intentation guide: Rainbow fills

[@spudsinski]

@@rappa753 many thanks!
