UMD Collection on the Internet Archive is one of 16 APIs that [University of Maryland College Park](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-maryland-college-park/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Digital Collections, Web Archiving, Search, and Library. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

The University of Maryland, College Park collection at the Internet Archive, documented by UMD Libraries as one of their ten Open Data services with archive.org's advancedsearch.php given as the query endpoint and a worked Python example. The collection identifier is university_maryland_cp and it held 10,674 items when probed. The digitised items and the curation are UMD's; the search API, its parameters and its operation are the Internet Archive's. Distinct from the Archive-It web-archiving entry, which is a different UMD Libraries service on the same organisation's infrastructure. The human collection page at archive.org/details/university_maryland_cp is an SPA shell that returns a generic Internet Archive title with no UMD content in the served body, so the machine-readable query is pointed at instead.
