Managing OSF Web Services Endpoints

Introduction
The goal of an OSF for Drupal instance is to use the OSF Web Services to create, manage, search and utilize all the data that as been indexed into a OSF instance. This means that all the actions performed by OSF for Drupal, all the data it searches and displays, come from remote web service endpoints.

In this section, we will see how we register, and manage, OSF Web Services endpoints.

A OSF for Drupal portal can use multiple endpoints at the same time. This means that different datasets can be hosted on different OSF instances. The only thing we have to do is to register these endpoints, and to expose the datasets we want to expose, and then the user will manage and use all this data without having to care where it is coming from.
