6. Materials Data Access (Materials Project API Example)

Some materials repositories are really easy to work with! They even have API's which make it simple to programmatically access and work with the data. In this video we go over how to use the Materials Project API includign mapidoc and MPRester. We show how to generate an API Key, how to access the data using requests and get functions.
This video shows a number of examples including how to use some basic MongoDB query syntax for detailed queries.
