Getting Started¶

Welcome! If you’re interested in learning more about how to develop software solutions for LNL, then you’ve come to the right place.

The LNL Database is at the center of it all and is an incredibly valuable resource for our club. The database itself is complemented by a number of services and integrations designed to make everyone’s lives just a little bit easier. Use this guide to learn more about the database and how you can get started working with it today!

Source Code¶

The source code for the LNL Database is open source and free to use. It runs on Python 3 and Django 2.2 or later. Visit the GitHub repository for more information.

API¶

The LNL Database has a built-in REST API for communicating with external applications. While the API currently only has access to a limited portion of the database, it makes LNL’s data much more accessible. Our API enables developers like you to create all new interfaces and extensions for LNL’s web services. We hope it will spark greater creativity and innovation as we strive to offer the best experience possible for our members and our clients.
