The official REST API for Researchdata.se is currently under development.

Additional methods are available for accessing metadata:

  • a RSS feed for search results.

Information about the REST API development will be published on this page when it is available.

Search results as RSS feed

The feed can be filtered and sorted in the same way as the search page.
