UR Research OAI-PMH Interface is one of 4 APIs that [University of Rochester](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-rochester/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include OAI-PMH, Institutional Repository, Metadata, Harvesting, and Library. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting interface for UR Research, the University of Rochester's legacy institutional repository, served from the university's own domain and running IR+ — repository software written and open-sourced under Apache 2.0 by the River Campus Libraries. Verified live on 2026-08-30: repositoryName "UR Research", earliestDatestamp 2003-07-17T19:40:11Z, three metadata formats (oai_dc, dcterms, marc21), hierarchical collection sets, and spec-correct badVerb error handling. This is one of the few genuinely institution-engineered API surfaces in this cohort.
