KFUPM ePrints Export & Search (JSON)

Record-level and search-level JSON from the same self-hosted KFUPM ePrints repository, served without authentication. /cgi/export/eprint/{eprintid}/JSON/{filename} returns the full record as application/json; /cgi/search/simple?q=…&output=JSON returns a JSON result set. The record model carries a KFUPM-local `arabic_abstract` alongside `english_abstract`, KFUPM division and subject codes, and embargo state on attached documents. It also exposes personal data — depositor contact_email, advisor and committee names — and internal EPrints fields (`dir`, `userid`). There is no published contract, rate limit or terms for these endpoints.

  title: KFUPM ePrints Export & Search (JSON)
  summary: Institution-operated JSON export and search output from the KFUPM ePrints repository.
  description: >-
    The KFUPM ePrints repository (EPrints 3.4.1, eprints.kfupm.edu.sa) serves record-level and
    search-result-level JSON without authentication. `/cgi/export/eprint/{eprintid}/JSON/{filename}`
    returns the full record — including Arabic and English abstracts, creators, subjects and
    document metadata — as application/json. `/cgi/search/simple?output=JSON` returns a JSON
    result set for a free-text query. Both were verified live on 2026-08-30 (a single record
    export returned 14 KB of JSON; a `petroleum` search returned 281 KB).

    Derived by probe. KFUPM publishes no OpenAPI, no rate-limit statement and no terms for
    these endpoints; harvest politely.
