  title: PANGAEA Data Download Services DOI Filter Geo Filter API
  description: 'REST services for retrieving geoscientific data from PANGAEA''s archive. Two complementary services are provided: a DOI-based filter service for retrieving tabular data from specific datasets, and a geo-parameter service for cross-dataset retrieval filtered by geographic bounding box, temporal range, and depth constraints.
