openapi: 3.2.0 info: title: University of Manchester Digital Collections — IIIF Image API version: '2.0' summary: Institution-operated IIIF Image API 2.0 level 1 tile and derivative service. description: 'The image server behind Manchester Digital Collections, implementing IIIF Image API 2.0 at compliance level 1. It serves regions, scaled derivatives, rotations and quality variants of the University of Manchester Library''s digitised page images, and is the service every canvas in the companion Presentation API manifests points at. The host image.digitalcollections.manchester.ac.uk resolves to 130.88.101.75, adjacent to the Presentation API host inside the University''s own JANET address space — it is not a vendor CNAME. The server advertises its own capabilities in the standard info.json profile, which is the authority for what this document records: formats [jpg]; qualities [native, color, gray, bitonal]; supports [regionByPct, regionSquare, sizeByForcedWh, sizeByWh, sizeAboveFull, rotationBy90s, mirroring]; maxWidth 2000; maxHeight 2000; tile size 256x256 with scale factors 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. The specification implemented is the IIIF Image API 2.0, authored by the IIIF Consortium. This document describes the University''s deployment of it, not the standard itself.' contact: name: The University of Manchester Library url: https://www.digitalcollections.manchester.ac.uk/about/ termsOfService: https://www.digitalcollections.manchester.ac.uk/terms/ servers: - url: https://image.digitalcollections.manchester.ac.uk description: Manchester Digital Collections image server (University of Manchester Library) tags: - name: image description: IIIF Image API 2.0 level 1 endpoints. paths: /iiif/{identifier}/info.json: get: tags: - image operationId: getImageInfo summary: Retrieve the image information document description: Returns the IIIF Image API 2.0 information document describing one image's dimensions, available pre-generated sizes, tile geometry and compliance profile.
