Today this API was updated with important new functionality: parsing of science blog posts and storing the metadata and content in the Rogue Scholar.
Added support for POST actions. This enables indexing of blog posts and DOI registration via the API.
The Rogue Scholar science blog archive has launched a dedicated API today, publicly available at https://api.rogue-scholar.org and complementing the website.

The API at https://rogue-scholar.org/api uses serverless technology, which isn't a good fit for long-running resource-intense processes.
On Monday the Rogue Scholar science blog archive launched a dedicated API. Today I am reporting on the first Jupyter notebook using that API to generate an overlay blog post.
