We've heard rumors that the Pok?mon API might come up! - Eight demonstrations of APIs and their use cases, from library services, museums, news media, and government If these tools for accessing and manipulating data (library data included!) are new to you, here's a chance to learn what they are and how they can help you. Beginners are welcome and encouraged! And if you already use APIs, here's a great chance to find a community of practice. New this year: travel stipends! $50 to defray travel expenses for people outside the metro Boston area. Eight stipends, first-come-first-serve, no receipts required, email neasist at gmail.com to get one, details on the Eventbrite page .
