- An API (Application Programming Interface) is essentially a set of protocols and instructions for building software applications – a toolkit for developers which enables them to take online data and create something with it. From mobile apps, to widgets and web applications, the developmental opportunities an API creates are many and wide-ranging. By making the Cambridge Journals API available, developers can freely use certain data from CJO to create such applications. The Cambridge Journals API programme is still in beta phase, making only basic article information available for external development. This trial period will invite interested third party developers to explore new uses for Cambridge content, and will open up the potential for new and exciting ideas that we hope will benefit the academic community.
