CMR API Overview

Endpoints & Upstream Documentation

There are three major API endpoints for the CMR:

• /search - Search API docs
• /ingest - Ingest API docs
• /access-control - Access Control API docs

The /search endpoint is the largest and most-used API. Regardless, this client project aims to support them all, each in their own namespace. Respectively:

• cmr.client.search
• cmr.client.ingest
• cmr.client.ac

Environments

By default, new clients are instantiated to run against CMR in production. You may override this with the :endpoint key in the options passed to create-client, e.g., (create-client {:endpoint :local ...}). The following keys are used to create clients against their respective CMR deployments:

• :prod
• :uat
• :sit
• :local

The last one being for developers running an instance of CMR locally.

Client Implementations

This project defines a unified Clojure+ClojureScript implementation of a CMR client. It also generates a JavaScript build that allows one to use the client from web pages and JavaScript-based desktop and mobile applications.

For more information on the clients, see the Guides.
