ePrints@IISc OAI-PMH is one of 5 APIs that [Indian Institute of Science Bangalore](https://apis.io/providers/iisc/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Repository, OAI-PMH, Open Access, Metadata, and Research. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

ePrints@IISc is the open-access institutional repository of IISc research publications, established in 2002 on EPrints software. It is OAI-compliant and exposes an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting interface at the standard EPrints /cgi/oai2 path for indexing and metadata reuse. The repository is publicly readable; deposit is restricted to the IISc research community. The live site is fronted by an Azure Application Gateway that blocks automated requests, so the OAI endpoint could not be programmatically verified during this review.
