API Access

ARCHE provides several interfaces to search and retrieve its data in programmatic ways.

ARCHE APIs are built using microservices. It means the ARCHE core service provides only a basic functionality for creating, reading, updating, and deleting (CRUD) while all other features (e.g. OAI-PMH) are handled by separate small services (called dissemination services) built on top of the core API.
