Make your own API
11:00 AM – 11:15 AM
Tim Ribaric, Digital Services Librarian, Brock University

Libraries rely heavily on software provided by vendors. Often this supplied software works well, but not always well enough. Sometimes data is not presented in a granular manner and it falls to Library staff to manipulate the data in a way that makes sense for them. This level of granularity is often called an API (Application Program Interface) and sometimes it becomes necessary to use web scraping to build an API all on your own. This cybertour illustrates what an API is, discusses web scraping as a viable alternative, shares some web scraping success stories which include the Brock University Mobile Catalogue search, a system built with web scraping and successfully ported to other catalogue installations across the world.
