York University Library API

The service provides access to a number of library resources important to students. A research guide function allows export of topic-specific and course-specific resource lists targeted to a student's registration selections and program affiliations. Additional functions provide lists of library staff with expertise and topical focus relevant to a student's program and details of current status for the student's library account.

API methods support generation of RSS feeds for topic-related and course-related research resources, or for library staff with relevant expertise, either matched to a specific student (with authentication) or based on program lists specified in the request. Methods also support access to a student's current library account status information formatted in XML.
