Dear Wikipedians and open library enthusiasts,

The API to access and play with the DPLA metadata stores has been released. You can get an API key and test it out (see below, and https://github.com/dpla ).

If you're interested you can follow the technical discussion on the mailing list: https://cyber.law.harvard.edu/lists/info/dpla-tech

Certainly!

FYI - you will need an API key to use the API - details on how to get one are here: https://github.com/dpla/platform#requesting-an-api-access-key

Probably simple enough to repeat here:

curl -v -XPOST http://api.dp.la/v2/api_key/you@your_email.com

If you use Gmail, check your spam folder. The key is sent immediately.
