Heriot-Watt Library Discovery (Ex Libris Primo) is one of 6 APIs that [Heriot-Watt University](https://apis.io/providers/heriot-watt/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Library, Discovery, Catalog, Primo, and Ex Libris. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Library discovery and catalog search for Heriot-Watt's Edinburgh, Scottish Borders, Orkney, Dubai and Malaysia libraries, running Ex Libris Primo under the institution's view code 44HWA_V1 at discovery.hw.ac.uk. The host sits on Ex Libris infrastructure (31.186.254.152) and serves a Primo single-page application; any programmatic access is through Ex Libris Alma/Primo APIs on developers.exlibrisgroup.com, which is a generic vendor surface shared by every Ex Libris customer and is therefore not recorded under this institution. Recorded here as a tenant relationship only.
