Repository@Nottingham DSpace REST API is one of 5 APIs that [University of Nottingham](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-nottingham/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, DSpace, REST, Open Access, and Metadata. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an API reference.

Keyless, read-only HAL+JSON REST API of the university's self-hosted DSpace 8.2 / DSpace-CRIS (cris-2024.02.04) institutional repository, served from the university's own domain at repository.nottingham.ac.uk/server/api. The root document advertises the full DSpace link set — core/communities, core/collections, core/items, core/bitstreams, discover/search/objects, discover/browses, config/properties, statistics and authn. Verified live on 2026-08-30: GET /server/api returns 200 application/hal+json naming "University of Nottingham Repository"; GET /server/api/core/communities and GET /server/api/discover/search/objects both return 200 with real records. The contract itself is the DSpace product's, shared by every DSpace deployment — so no OpenAPI is saved under this institution — but the deployment, the host and the data are Nottingham's. The Angular human UI on the same host is behind an AWS WAF human-verification challenge (405) while this API path is open.
