ETD@IISc DSpace 6 REST API
Read-only REST API of ETD@IISc, the Electronic Theses and Dissertations repository IISc runs on DSpace 6 at its own etd.iisc.ac.in host, serving the Community / Collection / Item / Bitstream hierarchy as JSON. HOST CURRENTLY DEAD — re-probed 2026-09-01 with a browser User-Agent, every path (/, /rest, /rest/communities, /rest/items, /handle/2005/1, /oai/request) returns HTTP 502 with a 165-byte "The website is under maintenance" body on three consecutive attempts, and the Internet Archive holds no successful capture after 2026-05-16. The four OpenAPI documents below were written by API Evangelist against the documented DSpace 6 contract and confirmed against the live host during the 2026-06-03 enrichment run; they are stamped x-method generated with an x-host-status block recording the 502, and are retained as the record of an institution-operated deployment rather than as a callable surface. This single entry replaces the four separate apis[] records the tag split had created, which reported one deployment as four APIs.
