CollectionSpace APIs

CollectionSpace offers several application programming interfaces (APIs). You can use these APIs to:

• Write your own scripts or programs to create, update, read, list and delete data within a CollectionSpace system.
• Integrate other systems with CollectionSpace.
• Write code that extends CollectionSpace's capabilities.

Services Layer REST API

Services Layer Java API (Advanced)

The CollectionSpace Services Layer is written in Java. You can view the Javadoc documentation for its internal Java API.

You can call existing code using this API if you wish to:

• Write custom code to perform batch operations.
• Write code to extend CollectionSpace's fundamental capabilities.

In order to use the Services layer's Java API, you can either use the Java programming language, or any other programming or scripting language that can call Java APIs.

If you write code of this type, please consider offering this code to the community as a code contribution.
