the API/readme file is still sparse:

• list the public keywords
• curl example update?

^ see title ^
Figure out how to only allow publicly accessible fields for unauthenticated users in unfielded queries.

Make use of ASCL API to get site links. Then determine which ones have the ability to query (through, for example, the GitHub API) for language usage. Figure out how to compile this information in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Include filters for comparing time, ascl_ids, among others.
Must closely study field list to create maximum possible comparability!

Look into the current method of automatic logging and figure out how to derive the HTTP requests to the site that hit the API! Then, figure out how to log them 😲

Alice will write up short descriptions for fields to go in the API README.

Research how APIs deal with special characters.

Enable authentication so that admins can access all fields through the browser -- might require some sort of cookie checking.

This shouldn't happen
