MoMA API #1

Hi ! I'm a web developer at MoMA. I saw your Flatiron School post and the museum app and thought, oh wow, I might be able to be help!

I'm looking at the HTML page scraper here: https://github.com/christinebeaubrun/pocketMuseum/blob/master/moma_museum/moma_scraper.rb

There's a JSON API within our site which you might want to try. It's not available for commercial use or officially documented, etc. etc, but it ought to be cleaner and more reliable than scraping the HTML http://www.moma.org/rails4/services/calendar/exhibitions/current.json

Let me know if you have any questions!
