WIReDSpace DSpace REST Collections API

Collections of items within WIReDSpace communities. Repaired on 2026-08-30: this contract had been welded to twenty-one Figshare /collections and /account/collections paths by a per-tag split across two source specs, and now carries only the DSpace /core/collections surface it actually describes.

WIReDSpace DSpace REST Collections API is one of 7 APIs that University of the Witwatersrand publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Collection. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

This API exposes 2 operations across 2 paths, and defines 5 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 9.2.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://wiredspace.wits.ac.za/server/api.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of WIReDSpace DSpace REST Collections API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
