Figshare provides built-in dashboards to support regular reporting on repository usage and content. While these are useful, institutions often have more specific reporting needs that go beyond the standard functionality. The Figshare API enables flexible data harvesting to power custom reporting and dashboards.
In this webinar, we’ll walk through the resources available to help you get started with the Figshare API, demonstrate examples of how it can be used, and share best practices for creating dashboards tailored to your institution. This session is designed as an upskilling opportunity to empower users to generate deeper insights and get the most value out of their data.
We’ll demonstrate how to:
-
Use Python in Google Colab to interact with the API
-
Build a custom interactive dashboard with Google Looker Studio
-
Leverage AI tools to expand on and enhance the provided resources
