PSASIR EPrints REST, Export and OpenSearch is one of 7 APIs that [Universiti Putra Malaysia](https://apis.io/providers/upm/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include REST, EPrints, OpenSearch, Repository, and Export. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and 1 JSON Schema.

Unauthenticated read interfaces the repository serves alongside OAI-PMH, all verified live on 2026-09-01: an EPrints REST dataset browser at /rest/ with per-item XML at /rest/eprint/{id}.xml, a per-item export interface at /cgi/export/eprint/{id}/{format}/ that renders JSON among other plugins, and a search interface at /cgi/search whose serialization is selected with an `output` parameter. The repository advertises twenty output representations in its own OpenSearch 1.1 description document. Two of these interfaces return unbounded responses and should not be used for bulk work in preference to OAI-PMH.
