Bidding farewell to the OAI-PMH publisher
January 2021 - Since August 2020, the content of the OAI-PMH has not been updated anymore. We will be shutting down the OAI-PMH publisher at the end of April 2021.
The OpenAIRE APIs allow developers to access the metadata information space of OpenAIRE programmatically.
