Library Search (Ex Libris Alma / Primo) — tenancy is one of 6 APIs that [University of Leeds](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-leeds/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Libraries, Discovery, Alma, Primo, and Ex Libris. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

RELATIONSHIP, NOT A CONTRACT. University of Leeds Libraries discovery and resource management run on the Ex Libris Alma library services platform with the Primo discovery layer. The tenancy is a real institutional fact — the collection, the holdings and the patron data are Leeds'. The interface is not: Alma and Primo REST and SRU APIs are Ex Libris' engineering, documented on the Ex Libris Developer Network, and keys are issued by Ex Libris to the institution. No Ex Libris specification is stored in this repository and none should be; it belongs in the Ex Libris profile. Leeds publishes no public developer documentation for these endpoints.
