Selective Access

The OpenAIRE HTTP API allows developers to access metadata records of the OpenAIRE Research Graph by performing queries over publications, datasets, and projects. The API is intended for metadata discovery and exploration only, that is it does not give direct access to publication files and it does not provide access to the whole information space: the number of total results returned by one query is limited to 10,000. For accessing the whole graph, developers are encouraged to use the OpenAIRE Research Graph dumps.

Common Parameters

Parameters included in this section can always be specified, for both research products and projects.
