# Bonus: Accessing Raw Data for Analysis

The ENCODE suite of tools for accessing and analyzing Hi-C Data includes the Straw API for streaming Hi-C data without needing to download any files. Straw currently supports Python, C/C++, R, MATLAB, and JavaScript.

To access a sample Jupyter notebook with code for running straw, go to: [https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1-GG-n-p9nZ7Be82UVJG7n3Q\_wQ9IeuFN](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1-GG-n-p9nZ7Be82UVJG7n3Q_wQ9IeuFN?usp=sharing)
