API

Content and structure of the whole Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is continuously available via a state-of-the-art JSON API connected to the editing platform. Everything that is available at https://www.ewphp.org/ (based on Drupal 9) is also retrievable through this JSON API.

Content

Encyclopedia databases retrievable via the API: World Problems, Global Strategies, Human Values, Human Development, Patterns and Metaphors, and Integrative Concepts.

Frameworks

Any modern programming framework can be used to communicate with the API. Examples include ReactJS, VueJS, SvelteJS, AngularJS, Drupal, etc.

Limits

The data is view only, meaning the API (currently) does not allow modification of the source.
