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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of ETD@IISc DSpace 6 REST API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
