Europeana
|
|
Europeana IIIF Gateway provides a lightweight proxy that translates IIIF requests to the Europeana API, exposing IIIF manifests and images via a cloud‑native gateway. The v1.2.2 release adds a new IIIF manifest collection endpoint, enabling bulk retrieval of manifests. It also introduces support for the new eCloud environment, fixing diacritic handling in link headers, correcting fully qualified domain names in non‑production responses, and removing the deprecated /data‑providers endpoint.
