University of Basel

edoc DSpace REST API

Public DSpace REST API for "edoc", the open-access institutional repository of the University of Basel, running DSpace-CRIS 7.6.2 (cris-2023.02.06) on the university's own host. The API root reports dspaceName "edoc: Open Access Repository University of Basel" and links the full HAL surface — items, collections, communities, bitstreams, the metadata-field registry and the discovery/search endpoints.
