{%- trans trimmed sitename=config.THEME_SITENAME %} We provide a set of REST APIs that allow researchers and developers to integrate data access capabilities directly into their workflows and systems. Our APIs range from querying metadata and performing advanced searches to automating data ingestion. Data-altering operations, such as creating or updating records, can be performed with token-based authentication. Read-only operations, such as retrieving metadata or performing searches, are openly accessible. This is consistent with the principles of transparent access to research data. {%- endtrans %}
