UMN Digital Conservancy — OAI-PMH and DSpace REST is one of 10 APIs that [University of Minnesota](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-minnesota/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, OAI-PMH, DSpace, Open Access, and Research Data. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an API reference and API documentation.

The University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy, which also holds DRUM (Data Repository for the University of Minnesota), runs DSpace 10.0 on University infrastructure. Its OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint answers anonymously under the University's own repositoryIdentifier (conservancy.umn.edu) with a umn.edu admin contact, and its DSpace REST root is publicly readable for communities and collections while item endpoints require authentication. The deployment is the institution's; the REST contract is DSpace's product contract, so none is saved here.
