Hey #DigitalHumanities, #GLAM, #DigitalHistory :
We need people who can do some simple scripting to access files via #API's like

@lavaeolus Could you explain “simple scripting” a little more?
(Kind of cautious because most “this is simple” tasks have indeed unconscious preconditions…)
@lavaeolus So basically requesting (first example given in the URL provided in the toot) https://wsearch.nlm.nih.gov/ws/query?db=digitalCollections&term=dc:title:%22tropical+disease%22. This returns an XML file -- would you like that downloaded or the result files (PDFs) listed there?
And, do you "know" the search query or has this to be built by the script?
(And, is there a legacy tool available, or not?)
@lavaeolus Wow, 30 imports for a task like this is… impressive.
All the best for this. But my way is to keep things lean and clean. And I do not see any point in double-inventing the same.
@lavaeolus Please reread my last post. I was clear that I wished the best for the project but I am out.
If I get complaints and stuff, let me take back "All the best for this."
Over and out.
