Web Services REST API
CoGe's Application Programming Interface:
There are two main ways a programmer can interact with CoGe:
- Through the web pages via URLs
- Through CoGe's database's API
Linking to CoGe
Each web application of CoGe is designed for a particular task, and provides links to other web applications in CoGe. This is how CoGe's Open-ended Analysis Network works. To get information on how to link to a particular web application, please see that application's wiki. If the information you are seeking is not immediately apparent, please feel free to e-mail Eric Lyons and for help.
CoGe's database's API
We are currently developing public web services for accessing and loading data in CoGe!
Here is our draft API specification document:

The new services won't be available for a few more weeks, but here are some examples of how they will work ...
