# ZFDM Research Data Repository API

ZFDM Research Data Repository API is one of 12 APIs that [Universität Hamburg](https://apis.io/providers/universitat-hamburg/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Research Data, Repository, DataCite, DOI, and Open Access. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, authentication docs, and API documentation.

Read API of the ZFDM Repository (Forschungsdatenrepositorium), operated by Universität Hamburg's Zentrum für nachhaltiges Forschungsdatenmanagement on the institution's own host. Returns records, communities, licenses and file buckets as unauthenticated JSON with Access-Control-Allow-Origin *, RFC 8288 Link pagination and X-RateLimit-* headers (limit 5000). Deposit paths return 401. Records carry DataCite DOIs under the institutional prefix 10.25592 and ORCID iDs on creators. The repository runs Invenio, so the contract SHAPE originates upstream; the deployment, host, identifiers and data are the institution's, and the OpenAPI below was derived by API Evangelist from live probes because the institution publishes none.
