For example, this is a pretty nice interface into the API via an R package.

Benefit to the API over full datasets and filter?

Example code:

devtools::install_github('UrbanInstitute/education-data-package-r')
library(educationdata)
dat = get_education_data(level='college-university', 
                         source = 'ipeds', 
                         topic='admissions-enrollment',
                         filters = list(year=2001:2017))

parses through the years, which is great, but only 9 columns of data, which you could argue is enough. Worth considering adding this into the package given the breadth of data covered
