  The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading engineering and science
  university in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark, ranked #109 in the QS World University
  Rankings 2025. DTU's public developer/API footprint is research- and
  metadata-oriented rather than a unified developer program: its DTU Data
  research repository is built on the Figshare platform and exposes the open
  Figshare REST API (institution id 379), and the DTU Orbit research database
  runs on Elsevier Pure. DTU also maintains a public GitHub organization
  (dtudk) hosting affiliated open-source software. Identity is handled through
  DTU's federated SSO (Shibboleth/OCES). There is no consolidated public
  developer portal documenting institution-wide APIs.

      DTU Data is DTU's institutional research data repository hosted on the
      Figshare platform. Its public datasets, articles, and metadata are
      accessible through the standard Figshare REST API v2, scoped to DTU via

      HTTPS; read access to public records requires no authentication.

    description: >-
      DTU Orbit is DTU's research information database (publications, projects,
      activities, researcher and department profiles), built on Elsevier Pure.
      The public web portal is openly browsable and searchable. Pure exposes a
      web service / OAI-PMH harvesting interface, but on the public DTU Orbit
      host those machine endpoints currently return errors and are not openly
      documented or self-service.
