API and Programmatic Access

FAIRDOM-SEEK includes a JSON Application Programming Interface (API) that allows the searching, listing, reading, updating and creating of many items in your FAIRDOM-SEEK instance, along with their attributes. The API supports Basic Authentication, OAuth and API Tokens, and can also be used without any authentication.

FAIRDOM-SEEK supports RDF export (in Turtle format) and can be configured with a SPARQL endpoint. RDF generation will include Extended Metadata when present for the attributes that include an identifier, and similarly some basic RDF is generated for Samples.
