# FAIR api

MOLGENIS partly supports the FAIR(Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable) [data principles](https://www.force11.org/group/fairgroup/fairprinciples).

The actual data used in the responses of the FAIR data endpoint are specified in the entities in the "fdp" package. The entities are named the same as the endpoints shown below. (Metadata, Catalog, Dataset, Distribution)

The examples in the documentation below work on servers where this [demodata](https://github.com/bartcharbon/molgenis/raw/32f760792c13d48ba05e2be7ba1a9fefb53d175f/molgenis-fair/src/test/resources/FDP.xlsx) is loaded

The currently (molgenis 3.0.0 and higher) supported endpoints are:

## Metadata: /fdp/

Example: `http://molgenis.mydomain.example/fdp/` This endpoint returns information the following information about the server: identifier,title,issued,modified,hasVersion,license,description,APIVersion,publisher,contact,language,rights,contains

For a description of those items check [here](https://dtl-fair.atlassian.net/wiki/display/FDP/FAIR+Data+Point+Software+Specification)

## Catalog: /fdp/\[catalogID]

Example: `http://molgenis.mydomain.example/fdp/catalogue/` This endpoint returns information the following information about the datasets available on this server: title,identifier,issued,modified,hasVersion,publisher,description,language,license,rights,homepage,dataset,themeTaxonomy

For a description of those items check [here](http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#Class:_Catalog)

## Dataset: /fdp/\[catalogID]/\[datasetID]/

Example: `http://molgenis.mydomain.example/fdp/catalogue/biobanks` This endpoint returns information the following information about the dataset: title,identifier,issued,modified,publisher,hasVersion,description,language,license,rights,distribution,theme,contactPoint,keyword,landingPage

For a description of those items check [here](http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-dcat/#Class:_Dataset)

## Distribution: /fdp/\[catalogID]}/\[datasetID]/\[distributionID]

Example: `http://molgenis.mydomain.example/fdp/catalogue/biobanks/distribution` This endpoint returns information the following information about the distribution of the dataset: title,identifier,issued,modified,license,hasVersion,rights,description,accessURL,downloadURL,mediaType,format,byteSize

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://molgenis.gitbook.io/molgenis/8.3/interoperability/guide-fair.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
