  The Autonomous University of Madrid (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, UAM) is a
  public research university in Madrid, Spain, founded in 1968 and ranked #198 in
  the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its primary public, machine-readable API
  footprint is delivered through Biblos-e Archivo, the UAM institutional repository
  running DSpace 7.6.5, which exposes a HAL-based REST API and an OAI-PMH 2.0
  metadata-harvesting endpoint. UAM does not publish a centralized developer portal;
  authentication is handled through the gated ID-UAM federated identity service, and
  most institutional systems (secretaria virtual, mobile app backend) are not openly
  documented.
