Fwd: Structured data validator API by Yandex

[Phil Barker]

Hello all,

The schema.org data validator API described below looks useful for anyone creating LRMI or schema.org metadata programmatically who wants to validate it, at least syntactically. I did a short review of schema.org testing tools earlier this year[1], and Yandex was quite good, but if you use this you might want to check that you're using the correct vocab uri to be sure that it really is schema.org that you are validating against.

Hi all,

 

Yandex launched the Structured data validator API. It automates validation of semantic markup and supports microdata, JSON-LD, RDFa and microfomats.

 

It can be used for different tasks, such as:

               * development of CMS plugins, that integrate markup into web pages;

               * automatic validation of structured data on large number of web pages;

               * structured data retrieval for further research.

 

API is already used in big projects. Websites recheck thousands of their pages to be sure that no errors appear after new release. SEO-services use it for markup analysis.

 

You can find more information here https://tech.yandex.com/validator/.

To get an API key, please, write to valida...@yandex-team.ru.

 

I'm also happy to answer any questions.

Best,

Alex
