Chrometa's Open API

Overview

Chrometa provides a simple rest-based API to import data into your application. A user generates a key for your application to use, and you can pull data for that user from the URL show below. 

Only data that people have classified under public (i.e. non-personal) projects is available via our API.

Getting your API key

 First you need to generate a key

If you already have one, it will be listed here under API KEY
