Massive retrieval of publications is possible on Serval using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
Access
Queries must contain a verb and possibly parameters. Here are some examples of access:
Verb
Poster
Example
Identify
General informations
Idem mais pour un set uniquement
GetRecord
Les données à partir d’un identifiant
Show more data
When there is too much data to be displayed in a call, the result page contains a cursor that allows access to the next page.
Example:
... <resumptionToken cursor="0">X27391577/1</resumptionToken> ...
You must then add a “resumptionToken” parameter to the called URL and assign that value to it. There must be no other argument except the verb previously used.
Example:
https://serval.unil.ch/oaiprovider/?verb=ListIdentifiers&resumptionToken=X27391577/1
