For everyone, who is interested in analyzing (and learning from) data from external (online) sources such as Amazon, Instagram or Twitter!
Learning contents
The course will cover some basic insights into extracting data from external online platforms. It will discuss the general approaches as well as the legal requirements. We will work with R to program simple scrapers that systematically extract data from websites and to access application‑programming interfaces (APIs) that facilitate the extraction of data.
Learning outcomes
In this course, students will learn how to acquire, store, and manage data from external sources (such as online platform) for follow‑up statistical analysis for their own research.
