EPFL Infoscience Institutional Repository is one of 9 APIs that [EPFL](https://apis.io/providers/epfl/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, Open Access, OAI-PMH, DSpace, and DataCite. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and a support channel.

Infoscience is EPFL's institutional repository and CRIS, self-hosted on EPFL infrastructure and running DSpace-CRIS. It exposes a HAL/HATEOAS REST API rooted at /server/api with 40+ link relations, and an OAI-PMH 2.0 provider with a single context, openaire4, declaring compliance with the OpenAIRE Guidelines for Literature Repositories v4.0. Records carry DataCite Kernel 4 metadata and ORCID name identifiers. Harvesting is supported from earliestDatestamp 2004-08-31 at second granularity. Anonymous reads of /server/api/core/items return 401, so OAI-PMH is the usable public harvesting surface.
