UWA Research Repository OAI-PMH

An open, unauthenticated OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting endpoint operated by UWA on its own host. All six protocol verbs returned 200 on 2026-08-30 with no credential presented. Identify reports adminEmail help-repository@uwa.edu.au and an earliestDatestamp of 2014-08-20; ListMetadataFormats advertises oai_dc, qdc, mods, xmetadiss and nl_didl; ListSets enumerates 167 sets covering persons, publications by year from 1946 to 2026, datasets, and an openaire set, with every response schema-located against the OpenAIRE CERIF 1.2 profile. The repository software underneath is Elsevier Pure, but OAI-PMH is an open standard rather than a vendor contract, the host is UWA's own registrable domain, and the administrative contact is a UWA address — so this is recorded as institution-operated. It is the only UWA API surface anyone can call today without an account.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of UWA Research Repository OAI-PMH, 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.
