Making requests

This guide provides examples of how to make requests to the OpenAIRE Graph API using different programming languages.

Using curl​

curl -X GET "https://api-beta.openaire.eu/graph/researchProducts?search=OpenAIRE%20Graph&type=publication&page=1&pageSize=10&sortBy=relevance%20DESC" -H "accept: application/json"

Using Python (with requests library)​

import requests

url = "https://api-beta.openaire.eu/graph/researchProducts"
params = {
    "search": "OpenAIRE Graph",
    "type": "publication",
    "page": 1,
    "pageSize": 10,
    "sortBy": "relevance DESC"
}
headers = {
    "accept": "application/json"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params)

if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()
    print(data)
else:
    print(f"Failed to retrieve data: {response.status_code}")

note

Note that when using curl you should ensure that the URL is properly encoded, especially when using special characters or spaces in the query parameters. On the contrary, the requests library in Python takes care of URL encoding automatically.
