As per today version 3 of the Archives Portal Europe's API is available. It offers fourteen services via which a state of the art website or web service could be build, based on data filtered out of Archives Portal Europe’s vast amount of content and making use of its search engine.
The Archives Portal Europe team has decided to start working on enabling the ingestion of finding aids in the new EAD3 format in the portal and it will start this endeavour by enabling the ingestion of so called "additional finding aids" in EAD3 first.
The Archives Portal Europe's team has spent its summer well: it has successfully released version 2 of the API functionality on the Archives Portal Europe's production server.
We are proud to announce the availability of the first Archives Portal Europe API (Application Programming Interface).
This web service enables archival institutions to not only publish their content via the Archives Portal Europe, but to also publish it as 'open data' for anyone to re-use it.
