Many thanks to the Australian Historical Association for sharing their concerns about changes to the National Library of Australia's API policy and the suspension of my API keys which, they say, "marks a troubling restriction to the work of researchers in Australia and overseas". https://theaha.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/AHA-Statement-on-New-Restrictions-to-Trove.pdf #Trove #histodons @histodons #GLAM
Nope, now it's not so easy because the gatekeepers at the NLA want you to seek permission before downloading the content of newspaper articles via the API. The #Trove Newspaper and Gazette Harvester is widely used and cited in research literature, but I can't use or maintain it because my API keys were cancelled. The NLA's policy is damaging research.
