Adjustment of API Endpoints
For everyone using our API: Some endpoints have been revised and are now more clearly structured, functionally expanded, and generally easier to use. Specifically, this means that interactions with a resource’s metadata and graphs will now take place via Graph, GraphMetadata and GraphMetadataContent. Access to objects and files can now be found under Storage and StorageContent. If you use these functions in your scripts, they must be updated promptly. The previous endpoints are already marked as deprecated in the Swagger documentation and are expected to be disabled in August. We will inform you of this again in advance via the newsletter and through relevant notices on the platform.
Information for Reviewers of Coscine Storage Space Requests
Important information for reviewers of storage space requests: The “Restrictedly suitable” option is no longer available as a final review result. As of March 16, 2026, reviewers must now choose between ‘suitable’ and “not suitable.” RDM staff and 1st-level support have already been informed of this change during the monthly consultation hour. If you are part of the RDM staff but have not yet received an invitation to the monthly consultation hour, please feel free to contact us via e-mail. You are also welcome to check out the support services.
