Use Search API

Use the Visible Legacy Search API to add elements to your site (coming soon)

For University Outreach with a development team, we plan to offer an application programmer's interface (API) to enable you to give your users a search box into the Visible Legacy Map data right in your communications page. You can limit the search as desired to find people, organizations, and/or projects related to your Affiliates Program. The service is offered as the Visible Legacy Search API Platform.

Perhaps your Affiliates page is text. You would like to show the vibrancy and context of the ecosystem, show what your investigators are known for, and encourage more industrial participation and licensing interest.

Adding a search box lets users find related topics. The search results list can then be built right into your page. If your user wants to delve into the details, you can add related information into your detail pages. You can also add maps customized to your audience for context and navigation.

Please see the Search API Documentation for more.

Don't want to use an API?

The embedded map widget version can be easily inserted into web pages and sized without needing to use the API. Learn more about widgets.
