Lexica in the The Scala Cite Service (SCS-Akka)

We have published the LSJ and Lewis & Short lexica as web-apps drawing their data from a CEX file, which is a serialization of two CITE Collections.

But some users, scholars, or developers might want direct access to the data coming from that service. This is a guide for accessing the service directly.

A full overview of the SCS-Akka set of microservices for CITE is provided for the Homer Multitext’s Service; that service offers texts, collections, and images. The lexica represent a very constrained dataset, so many requests described for the HMT data will return no data from this lexicon service.

Output

The output is JSON and should be fairly self-explanatory. There is a Scala library for transforming this JSON into CITE object in Scala.
