The SFO Museum Application Programming Interface (API)

Today we are announcing the availability of the SFO Museum Application Programming Interface (API). The API allows developers to access SFO Museum-related data programatically over the internet. The SFO Museum API has actually been around for a while now. It’s what powers the object counts as you add and remove filters on the advanced search page on the Aviation Collection website and is how items are added to and removed from your shoebox from both the Collection and Mills Field websites. The various SFO Museum websites are API consumers just like any other application. We are pleased to be able to (finally) open up access to the API to you and we look forward to seeing what you create with it.

Updates to the SFO Museum shoebox

It is now possible to add individual flights and Instagram posts, in addition to collection objects, to your shoebox. The goal is to slowly (and then quickly) add the ability to save any of the “first class actors” involved with the SFO Museum websites to your shoebox: Twitter posts, individual terminals and gates, airlines, aircraft and airports. Anything, really. Flights and Instagram posts are just what we’ve started with and what we’re using to make sure everything works.

The SFO Museum Aviation Collection Website Shoebox

This is a blog post about something that’s been hiding in plain sight on the SFO Museum Aviation Collection website for over a month now: The ability to save collection objects to a personal “shoebox”. If that sounds like a simple bookmarking system limited to items in the SFO Museum collection that’s because it is. For now. The shoebox and the introduction of user accounts are the first steps, the first building blocks, towards developing more sophisticated functionality and applications for the museum and its collection.
