Hi Jason, I've started looking into using ActiveRecord in Rails to plug into the Sierra Postgres tables.
I'm still learning how to work with Ruby and Rails, but initial experiments are working: https://github.com/jamesvanmil/ActiveSierra (really have just written a few simple models with some relationships) James Van Mil Collections & Electronic Resources Librarian University of Cincinnati Libraries Telephone: (513)556-1410 vanmi...@ucmail.uc.edu -James -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Thomale, Jason Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2013 3:29 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] local APIs atop III's Sierra DB Hello Code4lib, I'm wondering if any III Sierra users out there have worked on building an API for accessing their ILS data on top of Sierra's Postgres database. Right now I'm looking into possibly building something to serve local needs and use cases, as we're not terribly confident that III's forthcoming APIs--if they are indeed forthcoming--will really fit the bill. If this is something you're doing or have considered doing and wouldn't mind comparing notes, please drop me a line! Thanks.
