ETH Zurich Research Collection OAI-PMH is one of 42 APIs that [ETH Zurich – Swiss Federal Institute of Technology](https://apis.io/providers/eth-zurich/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Data, OAI-PMH, and Research Repository. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting interface for the ETH Zurich Research Collection, served from ETH's own host. Verified live with Identify, ListMetadataFormats and ListSets on 2026-08-19; serves the qdc, oai_dc, oai_datacite (DataCite schema kernel-4) and xoai metadata prefixes, plus a dedicated openaire_data context. The repository software is DSpace, but the endpoint, the host and the handle prefix (20.500.11850) are ETH's. Access is intermittently bot-mitigated: a rapid second request returned an ETH-authored "Access Restricted" notice citing scraping volume, which is a rate-limit response, not a dead surface.
