This is release v1.0.0 of the OPTIMADE API specification.

The specification has undergone a few changes since v1.0.0-rc.2, some not backward compatible.

A few highlighted changes directly affecting the API:

  • Several changes related to version negotiation for future releases of the API have been added.

  • The API may now be served on both the unversioned and versioned URLs.

  • The top-level meta field has undergone major revision:

    • It is now mandatory, with a few mandatory subfields (e.g., api_version), and most other fields made optional.
    • A link to a schema may be provided.
    • It no longer contains an index_base_url, since this functionality is covered by root links in the /links endpoint.
  • The unit field for describing properties in the /info endpoints is now standardized to use the Unified Code for Units of Measure.
