A simple mirror for the SHERPA/RoMEO API, written with Django.
Reference page for the API: http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/api.html
- hook the application to a Web server: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/deployment/
- use the proxy as if you were using the original API, changing the base URL to: http://myproxy.com/romeo/api29.php (the original relative URL has been kept, although we do not use PHP)
The SHERPA server times out, returns 500 errors… And very often we perform the same queries! So let's cache the responses and serve them faster.
