The four steps to fetch data:

1. Choose the presentation of the data
dataacquisition/view: Views the fetched data in the browser
dataacquisition/download: The fetched data will be provided as a download


2. Call the unAPI service interface
dataacquisition/view/unapi
dataacquisition/download/unapi


3. Provide the identifier of the item you want to fetch
dataacquisition/view/unapi?id=escidoc:1234
dataacquisition/download/unapi?id=escidoc:1234


4. Provide the format you want the fetched item in
dataacquisition/view/unapi?id=escidoc:1234&format=bibtex
dataacquisition/download/unapi?id=escidoc:1234&format=bibtex

Supported Identifiers:

1. A identifier from a supported source (explained in /dataacquisition).


2. A identifier = any URL (the eSciDoc DataAcquisition Service has no information about this source and can only try to call the given URL for the fetching request).
The format has to be set to "url". The response will be a zip file of the fetched content. The view option for url identifiers is disabled.
