The Miranda API

Miranda has a web interface available at collections.folger.edu/​, but that's not the only way to access the Folger's unified collections. Our interface relies upon a GraphQL API available to all comers at https://collections.folger.edu/graphql.

An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a way for programs to talk to each other. (Or, sometimes, for dedicated individuals to talk to computer programs.) GraphQL offers an approach to APIs that lets the requestor define what is returned.
