Integration with other Websites and Services


PUMA integrates well with other websites, content management systems, and reference managers. Furthermore, you can connect PUMA to your own software using one of our API (application programming interface) clients. The following list describes ways to integrate PUMA with various systems and technologies - ranging from code snippets to complete and powerful, easy-to-install plugins or API clients.


Browser

Bookmarking web pages and publications is very easy with our PUMA browser plugins, adding three useful buttons to your browser's navigation bar. At the moment there are plugins available for Chrome/Chromium, for Firefox and for Safari. If you do not wish to install a plugin or if you use another browser, you might like the JavaScript Bookmarklets with similar functionality.

For help regarding integration with your browser, visit this page.


Programs

This helppage regards the integration of PUMA in programs (Citavi, Emacs, JabRef, KBibTeX, Sublime Text und TeXlipse).

OpenURL resolver

You can you connect your PUMA user profile with your library's URL resolver. This way all URLs, also in publications, can be resolved via your library. You can find instructions for this here.

Link checker

This link status checker checks whether your PUMA bookmarks are still downloadable.

RSS

REST API

PUMA provides a webservice using Representational State Transfer (REST), a software architectural style for distributed hypermedia systems. The REST API is intended for developers who want to develop applications which interact with PUMA. Follow this link for help on that matter.


Others

Android

Gunnar Aastrand Grimnes created the Android application Bibsonomy Poster that allows posting with a single click from an Android device. The code repository can be found here.

OAuth

OAuth is an established protocol for secure API authorization which allows users to grant third party applications access to their data without being obliged to enter credentials outside of PUMA. Learn here how to establish a connection between your application and PUMA via OAuth.
