The Make Works API

The Make Works API allows our organisation data to be used openly and freely by other web developers or makers. We’d love to see this expanded into brilliant applications, products or services - whether that is for the creative community or further afield. 

We’re working towards making our data even more useful by expanding the Make Works network nationally and internationally in the coming months. We used the API to make some experiments here

Our API uses RESTful principles - at the moment allowing public GET requests for data. 

We will be writing about the API in more depth on our blog in the coming weeks.
