PKU Institutional Repository OAI-PMH API is one of 8 APIs that [Peking University](https://apis.io/providers/peking/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include OAI-PMH, Metadata, Harvesting, Research Repository, and Dublin Core. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata-harvesting endpoint for the institutional repository, live since at least 2015-09-25 (its earliest datestamp). Advertises twelve metadata formats — oai_dc, qdc, mods, mets, didl, ore, rdf, marc, xoai, dim, etdms, uketd_dc — and sets per PKU faculty. Identify, ListMetadataFormats, ListSets and ListIdentifiers verified live; an unrecognised verb returns HTTP 500 instead of the protocol's badVerb error.
