Take your eHive data anywhere….
eHive is used by museums, galleries and other collecting organizations to manage their collections. The eHive API (Application Programming Interface) provides users with ways to share their data with other websites, create their own websites, build smartphone apps and even develop custom applications. Depending on your level of technical ability the eHive Developers website will give you the information you need to take your eHive Object Records, images and public account information anywhere.
Build your own WordPress websites with the ability to search and display your eHive Object Records and images. You do not need a high level of technical knowledge to be able to use the eHive WordPress plugins. Customize the websites with WordPress themes and extend the features with WordPress plugins.
API Client Libraries (Java, PHP)
Build direct integration with other websites and applications with eHive’s Java or PHP API client libraries. These allow you to easily interact with eHive’s extensive suite of API methods. There are code samples for each eHive method to help you get started even faster.
RESTful Application Programming Interface
Build direct integration with other websites and applications with eHive’s extensive suite of API methods. For software developers with knowledge of RESTful APIs there are detailed resources here to help you on your way.
Allow partner websites like DigitalNZ, Trove and Culture Grid to automatically copy your public records into their database using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
Sharing your content with larger cultural heritage websites allows you to reach a larger audience than by publishing solely to your own website.
