Retrieve a GUID resource or redirect to its referent resource

Retrieve a GUID object or be redirected to the most appropriate resource.

By default, this endpoint redirects (302 Found) to the resource URL associated with the GUID. If ?resolve=false is passed, it returns the GUID resource object instead of redirecting.

GUIDs may reference nodes, registrations, files, collections, preprints, or users.

Redirect Behavior

• If the GUID refers to a supported resource, this will redirect to its detail endpoint.
• If it refers to an unsupported type (e.g., wiki), 501 Not Implemented is returned.
• If the GUID is invalid or deleted, a 404 or 410 is returned.

JSON Response Behavior

• If resolve=false is used, a 200 OK is returned with the GUID resource object.

Permissions

• Public GUIDs are accessible without authentication.
• Private GUIDs require appropriate access permissions.
