@danchedgzoy can you add in this issue, a link to the PDF you showed us about the API

[laurie-platt]

made a start with ons-api.R

[laurie-platt]

Added ons-custom-dataset.R based on slides Dan shared. I can explore as per slides but can't get the custom dataset yet.

'How to use APIs' Workshop
Last week we held our first ever Workshop on How to use APIs. Thank you to everyone who attended and to our wonderful speakers. I attach here links to the slides that were used to structure the event. Note that one of our speakers provided a live demonstration rather than using slides, so the slides cover most, but not all, speakers' content.

In addition, Andrew of ONS has provided the link to his notebook for the code: https://github.com/GSS-Cogs/knowledge/tree/main/api
Mia from Data Science Community has processed requests for additional domains for Slack but is still happy to add anyone who contacts her at government.data.science.community@ons.gov.uk.
We are in the process of editing the video recording and hope to be in a position to circulate this very shortly. I will be in contact again as soon as this is ready.
Please remember to let us know what you have used to create a dashboard and whether you'd be willing to contribute to future Workshops here: https://forms.office.com/e/NPm2BWsbhH
If you have any questions or would like to discuss any of our Workshop content, please contact ons.local@ons.gov.uk.
