University of Bristol Research Portal OAI-PMH

The one institution-operated, keyless, machine-readable API surface the University of Bristol publishes. OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting for the University of Bristol Research Portal, served from the university's own registrable domain under its own identifier namespace (oai:research-information.bris.ac.uk:...). Seven metadata formats are supported — mods, qdc, oai_dc, oai_cerif_openaire (OpenAIRE CERIF profile 1.2), xmetadiss, nl_didl and uketd_dc — across 3,878 sets, and ListRecords with oai_dc reports a completeListSize of 590,974 with a page size of 100. Five of the six verbs execute anonymously; Identify returns HTTP 500 with a Pure HTML error page, so the repository cannot describe itself, and that defect is recorded rather than smoothed over. The research-information system behind the portal is Elsevier Pure, but this interface is an open protocol on the institution's host under the institution's identity — Elsevier's own product API at /ws/api is a separate, vendor-owned surface and is recorded below as a tenant relationship, not as Bristol's.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of University of Bristol Research Portal 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.
