Use the DigitalNZ APIs to access files from across the NZ cultural, education, and government sectors
The data available through DigitalNZ describes the digital items held by content partners across all walks of NZ life. You can use the APIs to search across the likes of titles, descriptions, dates, and creators of the material; as well as requesting thumbnails and the full metadata record for each item
The aggregation service collects only the metadata that describes the digital content, but these APIs also return pointers to the item objects and thumbnails put online by our fantastic content partners. We hope you'll use this metadata to do good and wonderful things, create new experiences, and demonstrate the value of sharing this data. Email us at develop@digitalnz.org if we can help.
The current version of the DigitalNZ API is version 3.
