NERSC is hosting a hands-on SFAPI training on May 16, 2025. The SF API (Superfacility Application Programming Interface) allows NERSC users to interact with our systems programmatically using a REST interface. The API can be used to enable complex scientific workflows, monitor and run jobs on Perlmutter, build interactive apps, and much more.
This training will cover the following subjects:
- Interacting with the REST API through a web interface
- Authenticating with the API to run jobs
- Using the API with higher-level languages like Python
Please be aware that this is not intended for NERSC beginners but for those who are thinking of automating their workflows and steering them from afar.
