University of Liverpool Repository EPrints REST is one of 14 APIs that [University of Liverpool](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-liverpool/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Repository, REST, EPrints, Open Access, and Research. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes authentication docs.

Keyless, read-only EPrints REST interface on the institutional repository. Verified live 2026-09-01: GET /rest/ returns 200 listing the eprint, user and subject datasets, and GET /rest/eprint/ returns 200 with 7,456,493 bytes enumerating every eprint id in the repository — no key, no token, no registration. The equivalent path on DataCat is configured differently: GET https://datacat.liverpool.ac.uk/rest/ returns 200 but the item fetch /rest/eprint/2481.xml returns 401, so the two EPrints deployments do not share an access posture. As with the OAI-PMH interface, the contract is the EPrints product's and is not saved here; the deployment and the data are the institution's.
