  The University of Western Australia (UWA) is a public research university in
  Perth, Western Australia, and ranked #80 in the QS World University Rankings
  2025. Its public developer/API footprint is modest and primarily institutional:
  UWA operates an Azure API Management developer portal where APIs and products
  are published and consumed via API keys behind a sign-in, and exposes an
  Elsevier Pure CRIS Web Service for its Profiles and Research Repository that
  returns research outputs, people, projects, and related metadata via an
  API-key-protected REST interface. Most other interfaces are gated behind
  institutional affiliation or federated identity rather than open self-service.

    name: UWA Developer Portal (Azure API Management)
    description: >-
      UWA's developer portal, built on Microsoft Azure API Management, where
      published APIs and products can be discovered, tried interactively, and
      subscribed to for API keys. The catalog of products and APIs is presented
      behind a JavaScript app and sign-in, so individual endpoints are not
      publicly enumerable without an account.

    description: >-
      Elsevier Pure CRIS Web Service backing the UWA Profiles and Research
      Repository, exposing research outputs, persons, organisations, projects,

      generated in the Pure administrator interface; the versioned web service
      (5.24 / "524") publishes interactive API documentation.
