Empower your developers with the same data and web services that OCLC uses to create its own applications.
The WorldShare Platform is an open, cloud-based infrastructure that supports integration of applications from OCLC and other library service providers. The WorldShare Platform provides access to library data and functionality for use with new and existing applications to increase the visibility and use of library collections and services.
The WorldShare platform provides a consistent and usable experience for developers seeking to access the data and functionality available in OCLC's data sets, web services and APIs. It relies upon a set of guiding architectural principles that create consistency among our web services.
