3rd Party API - More Ways to tap Into Talent/Skills of interested parties
Posted: Sun Dec 04, 2016 5:26 pm
Hi,
Why is there no third-party API for scripture and other gospel library content made available to allow the community of software engineers / app developers / innovators within the church (or even without) but not necessarily employed by the church so that we can have the ability to access and push forward on 3rd party projects and products utilizing these resources? I can't think of a better way to promote innovations, ideas, practices, and advances around the great treasures we have here than to open up the services and resources to all of us.
There are many of us who are eager to make use of the official versions of church resources/material, and who currently cannot, because they are restricted to internal projects.
If control is needed, this is easily resolved the same way every other 3rd party API out there uses, such as through app secrets/app keys controlled by the API's authority. Whatever the means, control can easily be guaranteed the church to insure no 3rd party is able to use the API in a way that is questionable or undesirable.
Thanks,
