The Open Databases Integration for Materials Design (OPTIMADE) consortium aims to make materials databases interoperational by developing a common REST API. This repository contains the specification of the OPTIMADE API. $$ \ $$ * [optimade.rst](optimade.rst): The API specification. * [AUTHORS](AUTHORS): List of contributors. * [optimade.org](https://www.optimade.org): Public OPTIMADE web site * [OPTIMADE wiki](https://github.com/Materials-Consortia/OPTIMADE/wiki): Information for developers $$ \ $$ The subdirectory `schemas/` contains OpenAPI schemas for the main OPTIMADE API and index meta-database as implemented by the [optimade-python-tools repository](https://github.com/Materials-Consortia/optimade-python-tools). _Note_: These schemas are an approximation of the full human-readable specification and may be missing certain constraints. Furthermore, they may not be up to date in the develop branch of this repository. $$ \ $$ ## For developers $$ \ $$ The [master branch of the repository](https://github.com/Materials-Consortia/OPTIMADE/tree/master) is at the latest release or pre-release version of the specification. Versions without a version number suffix (alpha, beta, release candidates and similar) indicate a stable release. $$ \ $$ The [develop branch of the repository](https://github.com/Materials-Consortia/OPTIMADE/tree/develop) contains the present in-development version of the specification. $$ \ $$ API and client implementations are encouraged to support the latest release or pre-release of the specification. If this is a pre-release, implementations are also encouraged to support the latest stable release.
