  The University of Texas at Austin is a flagship public research university in
  Austin, Texas, United States, ranked #65 in the QS World University Rankings
  2025. Its public, machine-readable API footprint is concentrated in its
  library and research-data infrastructure rather than a single centralized
  developer portal. The UT Libraries operate Texas ScholarWorks, a DSpace 8
  institutional repository exposing a public DSpace REST API and an OAI-PMH
  metadata-harvesting endpoint, and the university participates in the Texas
  Data Repository, a Dataverse instance hosted by the Texas Digital Library that
  offers a documented REST API. Enterprise integration APIs (the UT Austin API
  Registry / Identity and Access Management services) exist but are gated behind
  UT EID authentication and internal ServiceNow access.
