Apollo OAI-PMH metadata harvesting endpoint is one of 12 APIs that [University of Cambridge](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-cambridge/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network.

OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting interface for Apollo, the University's institutional repository, served from Cambridge's own host. Identify returns repositoryName "Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository", repositoryIdentifier www.repository.cam.ac.uk, adminEmail support@repository.cam.ac.uk and an earliestDatestamp of 1959-01-01. ListMetadataFormats advertises eleven prefixes — oai_dc, qdc, mods, mets, marc, didl, ore, rdf, etdms, uketd_dc and rioxx (RIOXX v3.0, the UK research-funder metadata profile) — and ListSets returns 100+ sets. Records carry DataCite DOIs under the 10.17863/CAM prefix. The repository software is DSpace, but the deployment, the host and the metadata are the institution's.
