Description: This workshop was developed for the 2024 Open Repositories conference. The Open Science Framework (OSF) is a platform that supports the research process through data repository services, scientific study registration, and preprint publishing. This workshop will feature a hands-on tutorial on creating queries for the new OSF Search API and parsing results. With the new API users can extract useful information to glean valuable insights into research activities on OSF. Two types of OSF Search API queries will be taught and attendees will be able to form their own queries using the Search API parameters. Typical use cases will be reviewed and attendees will be able to practice queries using the live API during the session. By the end of this workshop data librarians, repository managers, research support staff and repository developers will be able to use the OSF Search API to gather data for reports or other applications.
