Come hack with us at TechCrunch Disrupt!

Posted on May 20, 2011 by Shelley Bernstein

It’s been two years since we released our collections database API and since that time we’ve seen a variety of use from iPhone and iPad apps to integration of our data in other collection projects.  As part of the thinking behind the creation of the API, we had hoped to engage our community of local developers, but time often got away from us as it will do in a busy, but small web team. When Jonathan Vingiano asked us to present an API workshop at the upcoming TechCrunch Disrupt, we jumped at the chance.

TechCrunch Disrupt

We are especially happy to say we are part of the independent track, which is organized by NY Hacker and we are going to be in some awe-inspiring and jaw-droppingly good company with fellow presenters: Nodejitsu, Hyperpublic, Aviary, Etsy and Hunch!

Paul and I are looking forward to meeting you at the event; we are psyched to see what your new eyes and fresh perspective will bring to our 93,000 collection records available through the API. To get started, apply for an API key and we’ll see you at the event!
