German Digital Library opens API
This month, the German Digital Library (Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek - DDB) made a promising step towards the further openness of their data by providing an API for users. This API provides access to all DDB metadata published under a license of CC0, which is predominant in their materials. Publishing this API provides many opportunities for users to create applications, combine with other data, or incorporate German digital heritage on other platforms. In the future, DDB also plans to hold a programming competition for API applications as well as a series of workshops for developers.
The API has a detailed description , including data structures and examples in different languages.
