  United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) is a public research university in Al Ain,
  United Arab Emirates, ranked #262 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its
  public, machine-readable developer footprint is limited and oriented toward
  research and open data rather than a formal developer program: the UAEU Library
  operates Scholarworks@UAEU, a bepress Digital Commons institutional repository
  that exposes a standards-based OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting endpoint, and UAEU
  publishes open datasets through the UAE national open data portal (FCSC), which is
  built on CKAN and offers a CKAN Action API. UAEU's Division of Information
  Technology maintains a GitHub organization (uitsws / UAEU-DOIT), but it currently
  has no public repositories. No general-purpose, self-service public developer
  portal or documented student-information / catalog API was found.

    description: >-
      UAEU publishes open datasets (e.g. UAEU granted patents and digital
      transaction reports) as an organization on the UAE national open data
      portal operated by the Federal Competitiveness and Statistics Centre
      (FCSC). The portal is built on CKAN and exposes the standard CKAN Action
      API; programmatic access from scripts is protected by Cloudflare bot
      mitigation, so a browser session or API arrangement may be required.
