  The University of Chile (Universidad de Chile, UChile) is the country's
  oldest public university, founded in 1842 in Santiago, and is ranked #139
  in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable
  footprint is centered on research and scholarly infrastructure rather than
  a single branded developer portal: a Dataverse-based research data
  repository (datos.uchile.cl) that exposes the standard Dataverse REST API,
  and a DSpace institutional repository (repositorio.uchile.cl) that exposes
  an OAI-PMH interface for metadata harvesting. The university also maintains
  official open-source GitHub organizations for its Open edX online-education
  platform. No general-purpose, self-service developer program with API keys
  was confirmed; access is via open standards and open data.

    name: UChile Research Data Repository (Dataverse API)
    description: >-
      The University of Chile research data repository runs on Dataverse
      (version 5.13 confirmed live via /api/info/version) and exposes the
      standard Dataverse REST/native and Search APIs for discovering and
      retrieving datasets, dataverses and files. Content is DOI-minted via
      DataCite. This is open scholarly infrastructure rather than a gated
      developer product.

    name: Repositorio Academico OAI-PMH
    description: >-
      The University of Chile institutional repository (Repositorio
      Academico), managed by SISIB and built on DSpace, exposes an
      OAI-PMH 2.0 interface for harvesting Dublin Core / metadata records
      of theses, articles, books and other scholarly outputs. The OAI base
      URL is registered in OpenDOAR/ROAR. Probes returned an intermittent
      HTTP 503 at review time; the endpoint is documented but was not
      confirmed live during this review.
