    Welcome to this course which aims to give you an overview of the procedures for onboarding services to the EOSC Marketplace. Onboarding is a process that a provider must follow to register a resource in the EOSC Marketplace. The onboarding process is different for research products (publications, data, software), services, data sources and learning resources. Each of these use cases will be covered in a separate course.

    As far as services are concerned, there are two ways to onboard them: 

    • via the EOSC Providers Dashboard or 
    • using an API (Application Programming Interface).


    If you are onboarding a small number of services, the former approach is more suitable for you. Using the API is recommended to those onboarding many resources. The API also makes it easier to update the resources' records in the EOSC Marketplace. This course covers only onboarding via the EOSC Portal Open API, whereas onboarding via the EOSC Providers Dashboard is covered in a separate course.

    The course relies on the providers’ documentation available on the EOSC Portal and several synchronous training events within the EOSC Future project training programme.
