Requirements

The Altmetrics feature in DSpace needs to consult an external database when doing social metric lookups.

Therefore you MUST ensure that your repository server has unrestricted access via ports 80 and 443 to the following web site:

http://api.altmetric.com

Consult with your campus network administrator to ensure that your server has the correct access to the Altmetric API web site.
