Running Code Examples Directly from the Site

The Python code examples on this site are now self-contained. Each script declares its own Python version and dependencies inline, using PEP 723 metadata, so you can run any example directly from this site with a single command, without a checkout or a setup step:

uv run https://opendata.lib.umd.edu/code/drum-oaipmh.py

This example harvests metadata from DRUM, UMD’s institutional repository. It uses uv, which reads each script’s declared dependencies and runs it in a temporary environment. If you do not have uv installed, run brew install uv or see the uv installation guide.

Each service page embeds its own runnable examples, covering OAI-PMH, OpenSearch, the DSpace REST API, SRU, and JSON-LD.
