OAI-PMH Harvester & DigitalNZ API

I may be off-track with this one, so apologies for ignorance:
I'd like to use the OAI-PMH harvester plugin to harvest image metadata using the http://www.digitalnz.org/developer api, which itself harvests from all New Zealand's digital repositories. Does anyone know if this would be possible? An api key is required, which I suspect will cause problems with the Omeka plugin.

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

It appears that DigitalNZ uses a custom API based off Apache Lucene, not OAI-PMH. In order for you to harvest metadata from their database, someone will need to write an Omeka plugin using a DigitalNZ API library.

Best,
Jim

Thanks for the prompt reply Jim. I've suggested DigitalNZ contribute an Omeka plugin. If anyone in the Omeka community feels like adding some comments, feel free: http://makeit.digitalnz.org/voting/ideas/85 (I'm assuming non-NZ residents can sign-up).
