• Familiarising yourself with how CSD entries are represented in the CSD Python API.
• Learning how to access CSD entries.
• Learning how to read different file formats.
• Learning how to run a search and output results.

Format:​

• Show one - our team will go through an example on their screen.
• Try one – It’s your turn, work through the example yourself – with our team on the line for support.
• Explore more – we’ll summarise the key points, and give you further examples to try in your own time.
