  The Autonomous University of Barcelona (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, UAB)
  is a public research university in Bellaterra, near Barcelona, Spain, founded
  in 1968 and ranked #175 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UAB's public,
  machine-accessible footprint centers on its open scholarly infrastructure rather
  than a formal developer portal: the Dipòsit Digital de Documents (DDD), the
  institutional repository built on the Invenio platform, exposes an OAI-PMH 2.0
  metadata endpoint and is OpenAIRE-compliant. Research data is published through
  the Catalan consortium (CSUC) federated research data repository. No dedicated,
  publicly documented UAB developer/API program or official institutional GitHub
  organization was confirmed; student-facing academic services (SIA) are gated
  login portals without public API documentation.

      OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting endpoint for the Dipòsit Digital de
      Documents de la UAB (DDD), the university's institutional repository of
      theses, articles, preprints, postprints, ebooks, periodicals, and other
      scholarly and institutional output. The repository runs on the Invenio
      platform (originally from CERN) and is certified OpenAIRE-compliant. The
      endpoint supports standard OAI-PMH verbs (Identify, ListRecords,
      ListSets, GetRecord) and is harvested by aggregators such as Google
      Scholar, BASE, and CORE.

      UAB research data is published via the Catalan Consortium of University
      Services (CSUC) federated, multidisciplinary research data repository
      (CORA Repositori de Dades de Recerca), where Catalan universities and
      CERCA research centers publish FAIR research data sets following EOSC
      guidelines. This is a shared/federated consortium platform rather than a
      UAB-only API; no UAB-specific public API documentation was confirmed.
