mediaTUM OAI-PMH Repository Interface is one of 6 APIs that [Technical University of Munich](https://apis.io/providers/tum/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, OAI-PMH, Metadata, Library, and Dublin Core. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an API reference and API documentation.

OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting interface over TUM's institutional repository. Verified verbs Identify, ListMetadataFormats and ListSets all answer 200. Metadata prefixes: oai_dc, epicur and xMetaDissPlus (the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek dissertation profile). Earliest datestamp 1959-01-01, deletedRecord: no, granularity to the second. Note the asymmetry: the machine surface is wide open while the HTML surface at mediatum.ub.tum.de sits behind an Anubis proof-of-work anti-scraper challenge — a repository that is more readable to a harvester than to a browser.
