Tim SherrattI've written a new blog post on the #Trove API keys debacle that answers some questions raised by my first two posts, and provides some updates on recent actions by the National Library of Australia. https://updates.timsherratt.org/2025/04/11/update-on-trove-data-access.html Please share!
Update on Trove data access and my suspended API keys
On 21 February, my Trove API keys were cancelled without warning. A week later, I met with NLA staff and was shocked to be told that downloading ‘content’, such as the text of digitised newspaper articles, was regarded as a breach of the API terms of use. Without API access I can’t continue my work helping researchers make use of Trove. More generally though, the NLA’s actions threaten innovative digital research.
And surprise orchids! Super late and kinda high altitude bonnet orchid as well as my first midge (background removed in an attempt to get a better ID but I have zero idea lol)
Desperately needed outside time this weekend and honestly the mushrooms delivered
Mitchell Whitelaw@Bonnie Lyrebird science! They are actually farming bugs in that mulch lol. https://theconversation.com/australias-superb-lyrebirds-farm-the-forest-floor-to-increase-their-prey-a-behaviour-rarely-seen-in-nature-247908
The NLA's suspension of my #Trove API access has been picked up in this news story from the Australian Computing Society: https://ia.acs.org.au/article/2025/national-library-cracks-down-on-public-data-access.html #GLAM #OpenData
Great bird, excellent talons 💚
(Also highly recommend quiet outside moments amongst this absolute sh*t show)
Here’s 17 seconds of a preening lyrebird x 💚
