  The University of Rochester is a private research university in Rochester, New
  York, ranked #236 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It does not operate
  a single official, centralized public developer portal; its publicly reachable
  programmatic surface is found across library and research-data infrastructure.
  The University of Rochester Research Repository (URRR) runs on the Figshare
  platform, which exposes a public REST API and an OAI-PMH endpoint, and the
  legacy UR Research institutional repository still serves a live OAI-PMH
  interface. The River Campus Libraries also maintain an active public GitHub
  organization with digital-library tooling. Most enterprise systems (SIS,
  identity/SSO, course/catalog) are gated and not publicly documented.

    description: >-
      The University of Rochester Research Repository (URRR) is the
      institution's official research and data repository, hosted on the
      Figshare platform at rochester.figshare.com. Figshare provides a public
      REST API (api.figshare.com/v2) for programmatic access to articles,
      collections, and metadata. This is a third-party platform API used by the
      university rather than a university-operated API.

    description: >-
      The legacy UR Research institutional repository exposes a live OAI-PMH
      interface for harvesting Dublin Core metadata of deposited research
      outputs (papers, theses, datasets). The endpoint responds to standard
      OAI-PMH verbs such as Identify, ListRecords, and ListMetadataFormats.
