Re: [CODE4LIB] API wrapper for the Polaris ILS

2014-01-13 Thread Eric Phetteplace
There are connectors for Locum (Social OPAC http://thesocialopac.net/),
e.g. https://github.com/SCAS/locum-polaris-41/

Not sure if that's useful but it does look current; most recent version of
Polaris with code updated a week ago.

 Has anyone on the list written an API wrapper --PHP or python-- for the

 When I started looking at how I might do some fun stuff using the API I
 realized that I've been a spoiled newbie for a long time, always querying
 really simple APIs that someone else had made a pretty wrapper for.

 On that note, as I look at this lovely list of
 wrappershttp://dp.la/info/developers/sample-code-and-libraries/on
 the DPLA page, I wonder... even beyond Polaris, which is the ILS I use
 at my library... why wouldn't there be similar resources available for
 other products from III, Sirsi, etc?  Or are there, and I don't know it?

Thanks!  John emailed me off list and pointed as well, I'd forgotten about
that.
