Description
In this second installment of our API webinar series, experts from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will use easy-to-understand case studies to provide insights into how their agencies began using APIs. In the process, they explain what APIs are, why they are important, and how they relate to the future of government digital services. This webinar will be moderated by Gray Brooks, Senior API Strategist at GSA's Digital Services Innovation Center.
What You'll Learn
This webinar will provide case studies from the Department of Labor's developer outreach, the FCC's National Broadband map, and the FAA's flight data hub.
The presenters will explain:
- Where to get started with APIs
- How to employ your APIs for internal use
- Best practices for government APIs
