Hi Andras,

If you look in the source of a search results page you will see a set of ‘alternate’ links that provide exports in all the formats available on the server. So this one for example, following a search for type=video, gives a service endpoint for exporting that set of records as EprintsXML

 

<link rel="alternate" href="?cache=&amp;exp=0%7C1%7C-date%2Fcreators_name%2Ftitle%7Carchive%7C-%7Ctype%3Atype%3AANY%3AEQ%3Avideo%7C-%7Ceprint_status%3Aeprint_status%3AANY%3AEQ%3Aarchive%7Cmetadata_visibility%3Ametadata_visibility%3AANY%3AEQ%3Ashow&amp;output=XML&amp;_action_export_redir=1" type="application/vnd.eprints.data+xml; charset=utf-8" title="EP3 XML" />

 

Something like that would give you a template for building your service requests, perhaps?  There’s one for each of the export formats available in the dropdown on the search results page

Hi Andras,

 

One option could be to use the OAI-PMH interface? https://[your repository]/cgi/oai2 You might have to harvest the data into some sort of index though. Another option could be to modify an RSS feed URL for a search query with the search you want. That would give you a fairly easy XML format with the search results to read.

 

Regards
