Support machine readable formats for record PIDs #1174

Open emanueldima opened 8 years ago

emanueldima commented 8 years ago

Currently a PID resolves to the record URL page (the /records/ID, not /api/records/ID). The endpoint only supports html output, which is not optimal for machines to read. We must find a way to support machine readable formats.

The simplest solution is to add support for json outputs when the Accept header demands it.

FYI for DOIs the resolver can take care of it for you: http://citation.crosscite.org/docs.html + https://mds.datacite.org/static/apidoc#tocAnchor-22
