DSPACE – REST API

DSpace 4.0, has REST API v1. This provides READ-ONLY access to public content, such as communities, collections, items, and bitstreams. There are relationships between objects, such as the list of items within a collection. Future versions of DSpace REST might support support Create, Edit, Delete, and access to restricted content after login.

Get Involved

You can contribute by building an API consumer application, in your language/framework of choice, that does something interesting with your data.

We are definitely able to use help with improving the API, and evolving it over the next release versions, such as supporting Create, Edit, Delete, or accessing restricted content. There is work-in-progress for the next release to better support searching, and pagination.

Ask questions in mailing lists, DSpace REST Google Group, or IRC. Also you can send a Pull Request to the DSpace REST Jersey code, with code improvements.
