REST Request

Overview:

The WorldCat Knowledge Base REST API provides four base resource types:

• Collections
• Entries
• Providers
• Settings

Authentication occurs through the use of a WSKey. A WSKey simply needs to be appened to the end of the URL. In many cases, the request institution id will be obtained from the WSKey. However, when a WSKey is authorized for multiple institutions, the institution id should be explicitly specified in the request:
