Figgy Digital Repository — OAI-PMH and IIIF is one of 14 APIs that [Princeton University](https://apis.io/providers/princeton/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Repository, OAI-PMH, IIIF, Digital Collections, and Library. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and a GitHub repository.

Figgy is Princeton University Library's Valkyrie-based digital repository backend (pulibrary/figgy). It serves IIIF manifests for digitised material and exposes an OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata-harvesting endpoint at /oai whose Identify response names "Princeton University Library", with an earliest datestamp of 2017-10-06 and transient deleted-record support. This is Princeton's verified oai-pmh conformance under the education regime, and unlike most of the cohort the endpoint is on the institution's own host running the institution's own code.
