—————————
GIDEON (Global Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology Online Network) API provides access to the world’s premier global infectious diseases database. The Infectious Diseases data module encompasses 350+ infectious diseases, 230+ countries and 700+ anti-infective drugs and vaccines. This session will introduce the GIDEON API as a comprehensive infectious disease data resource, focusing on data applications in global health and environmental health sciences. It is designed for anyone with an interest in public health, health policy, vaccines, or incorporating infectious disease data in their research.
GIDEON Informatics team members will present real research use cases and walk participants through how to find data, query the API, harness GIDEON alerts, and convert programmatic outputs into practical formats (e.g., JSON to Excel) using API clients and data tools. A deep technical background will not be required, but familiarity with API clients will be highly beneficial to follow along. Participants are welcome to simply watch and replicate the hands-on activities using the recording that will be distributed after the session.
The URL for this session will be included in the confirmation message you receive 5-10 minutes after you register, as well as in an automatic reminder message sent two days prior to the session.
