Contribution
This paper introduces the first stable release of the OPTIMADE API, establishing a universal standard supported by major databases and software.
Findings
Supported by many leading databases
Demonstrated through worked examples
Enhances data accessibility and interoperability
Abstract
The Open Databases Integration for Materials Design (OPTIMADE) consortium has designed a universal application programming interface (API) to make materials databases accessible and interoperable. We outline the first stable release of the specification, v1.0, which is already supported by many leading databases and several software packages. We illustrate the advantages of the OPTIMADE API through worked examples on each of the public materials databases that support the full API specification.
