Explore possibilities regarding importing metadata from Datacite API

[wfenrich]

What can we get by this endpoint: https://support.datacite.org/docs/api-get-doi ?

Or maybe this one? https://support.datacite.org/docs/api-get-lists

They both return JSON, but the JSON contains encoded XML – can we use it?

Can we reuse XML importer that we already have? Or maybe make it an intermediary link?

Both api's return similar data, however the xml field is only present in the single DOI version.

From our datacite exporter we already have a mapping for XML which matches the encoded xml field. So we could re-use that potentially.

The json format is very similar to the xml and shouldn't be to much effort to add a json mapper. It would also be more flexible, as that way, we would also be able to use the muli DOI API.

All in all, would recomend going with JSON.
