Data Access

Individual Records

Numishare supports delivery of individual records in a variety of models and serializations through both REST and content negotiation. Content negotiation (with the accept header) requests should be sent to the URI space http://coins.lib.virginia.edu/id/. Requesting an unsupported content type will result in an HTTP 406: Not Acceptable error.

Search Results

Search results (the browse page) are returned in HTML5, but Numishare supports Atom and RSS via REST, as well as Atom and raw Solr XML via content negotiation of the browse page URL, http://coins.lib.virginia.edu/results. The REST-based Atom feed sorts by the Lucene syntax 'timestamp desc' by default, but the sort parameter may be provided manually to alter the default field and order.

Geographic Responses

Search results may also be serialized into geographic models when relevant, for example to show the mints, findspots, or subjects related to the current query. Results are made available in KML and geoJSON.
