node-librarycloud-api

A simple way to consume the LibraryCloud api at http://library.harvard.edu/librarycloud

Installation

npm install node-librarycloud-api

Usage

  • The API is not intended to be used to acquire Harvard data sets in their entirety. Not only is that an inefficient way to gather the data, it can also have an adverse affect on the performance of the API for others. Note also that the data sets are available for bulk download here: http://openmetadata.lib.harvard.edu/bibdata
// Initialize
var libcloud = require('node-librarycloud-api');
// Create the search criteria
var search = {
  q: "optimizations in finance",
  facets: ["name", "resourceType"],
  limit: 15,
  start: 20
};
// Search
libcloud.item.search(search,function(err, res){
  console.log(res);
});

libcloud.collections.search(search,function(err, res){
  console.log(res);
});
// Get a single record based on id
libcloud.item.get(123456,function(err, res){
   console.log(res);
});

libcloud.collections.get(123456,function(err, res){
  console.log(res);
});

TODO

  • Add POST to Collections with API token
  • Add DELETE to Collections with API token
