When I was a kid, my dreams was to work at Google, Microsoft, Apple or any of these big companies. Now that I am reaching 30 (and becoming very nostlagic of the old web), I think the company that would make me most happy of login every morning to get some work done would be Internet Archive.
- JKCalhoun 6y agoI love archive.org. Hate their "front end". One of the most disorganized user-facing sites. I would love to see an effort to address that. Would it be possible for archive.org to offer an API to allow other sites to present archive.org using their own front-end? We could see lots of specialty sites that focus on the user experience for some slice of archive.org.
- bnewbold 6y agoThere are APIs and it would be great if more people and organizations built on top of them, and specifically build content or collection-specific interfaces. Here is the entry point for API documentation: https://archive.org/services/docs/api/ https://archive.org/services/docs/api/ Hot linking, CORS, and other things to support third-party integration are usually supported, though there are a lot of special cases for security or to prevent malicious use. If you run in to technical problems we are usually responsive to the main contact routes on the archive.org site. The system is not designed to allow multi-party curation and editing of metadata, but there is nothing stopping folks from building third-party catalogs on top of the content stored (and served) from IA. That is sort of what openlibrary.org is for books. The same thing could be done for music, video, specific documents, etc. Note: I work at IA but not on the APIs or archive.org collections
