Querying Solr from Dspace Frontend Angular

[stb...@gmail.com]

Dear all,

In Dspace 6.3 we have "Querying Solr from XMLUI" https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSPACE/Solr#Solr-Solrresponses, this worked well.

Now we are upgrading to dspace 7 and my questions ist: is there a similar way querying Solr from Dspace Frontend in Dspace 7?

Thanking you in advance.

Hi Stefanie,

The DSpace 7 frontend uses the DSpace 7 REST API for all requests.  There is no default/out-of-the-box way to query Solr directly, but the REST API has a number of endpoints that use Solr behind the scenes, e.g. the search endpoints: https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract/blob/main/search-endpoint.md
