Hi Patrick & Anne,

We'd welcome contributions to the existing DSpace 5.x/6.x REST API
documentation. I agree it's a bit lacking, but thus far I've not been able
to find someone to help enhance it with sample curl requests, etc.  If you
are interested, please do get in touch and I'll gladly give you rights to
update the official documentation in these areas.

You also may be interested to hear that with the upcoming DSpace 7 release
we are completely rebuilding the REST API, and starting with a REST
Contract (to completely document how each endpoint will respond, with
examples, etc).  That work is ongoing (not yet complete), but you can take
an early look at the REST Contract at
https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract
