Metadata Dump

Provides information about the metadata dumps.

Endpoint Overview

SIDRE can provide metadata dumps that you can download for further processing.

This feature has to be activated by an administrator of the SIDRE instance. If activated, an overview of all available dumps can be found at /resources/dumps.

A JSON dump is the standard format for metadata dumps. But additional formats like MARCXML can also be activated by an administrator of the SIDRE instance.

The dumps are updated regularly, usually once a week after the weekly cleanup.
