I had given a somewhat thorough reading to their API some time ago, but didn’t find anything that interesting and I was thinking of developing a java GraalVM API which would be more customizable, easily usable for other text banks. I took a second look at it and they still don’t address their own problems, like repeated texts (same exact text/publication with different identifiers), not standardized metadata definitions: fr., french, French, fr, … to specify the language. Author names are entered as free text as well ... so what is the point of even having an API when the metadata is not well-defined, -kept.
