unAPI support for Bookends Server
Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 8:33 am
unAPI is a "tiny HTTP API for the few basic operations necessary to copy discrete, identified content from any kind of web application" used by applications like Zotero to import bibliographic data directly from websites. It is much more powerful than CoinS/OpenUrl and – unlike CoinS - supports any type of reference and even attachments.
I have developed a simple unAPI support via a PHP script that works together with the Bookends Server to PUBLISH unAPI information together with the pages generated by Bookends Server (it cannot be used to IMPORT such information - Jon would have to implement that in the Online Search tool).
Before I invest the time of describing here how to set it up, I first need to know if there is any interest at all in such a How-To. Let me know any time.
