Visual Data Using the WordPress API

Presented at

WordCamp Europe in Paris 2017


WordPress 4.7’s integrated REST API just gave us easy access to the public data of millions of sites. We, as designers, can now structure that data in visual ways to build creative solutions, and encourage thought. Let’s learn about the API and what we can do with the data that’s available to us from a design perspective.

During the live interactive survey and data visualization with P5.js, someone submitted a comment “beard”. That was hilarious, and the highlight of my day.
