Scholars Portal Books
The starting URL should be "http://books.scholarsportal.info/SolrRequest?raw=true&" and the rest is any parameter compatible with Solr (more about search parameters: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SearchHandler)
For example:
A simple query with XML response for Titles with "Degas": http://books.scholarsportal.info/SolrRequest?raw=true&q=Title:Degas&start=0&rows=2000&indent=on (maximum rows returned will be limited to 1000)
A fecet query with JSON response: http://books.scholarsportal.info/SolrRequest?raw=true&rows=0&indent=on&facet=true&facet.limit=20&facet.mincount=1&facet.field=LCC1-sortable&facet.field=SubjectLCSH-sortable&facet.field=Contributor-sortable&facet.field=Series-sortable&facet.field=Type-sortable&facet.field=Language-sortable&wt=json&json.wrf=Solr.retrieve&q=Title:Degas
Solr throws an error if an undefined field is used, so make sure to include the correct field names from schema .

GeoPortal API
Here are a full list of options you can send to the service:
> q = search terms (can be multiple)
> field = field constraints (can be multiple)
> fm = json or xml
> i = number of results per page (default is 10)
> p = page number
> val = facet constrain (eg: you want to search water, and constrain it by the keyword canada – val=KW:"canada")
ODESI
To access the metadata follow the steps below:
- Search for records
Note that only 10 results are returned. The above url will need to be called repeatly until the "total" attribute from the first response is satisfied
- For each of the results returned, take the "uri" attribute and call http://search2.odesi.ca/getDetails?requestURL={uri} to retrieve the metadata for each loaded study
