I'm no longer working at a Primo institution (yay!) but I did write this little tool when I was at UW that uses the PNX api to do an exact query search for MMS IDs. That might give you some insights to working with the API. https://bitbucket.org/uwlib/mms_to_primo_permalink My memory suggests that to work with the PNX api and others, you had to file a support request to activate them. I'd recommend doing that anyhow just in case you have any legacy hosted installation that never got shifted over.
