Aalto Research Publications API (Acris gateway) is one of 13 APIs that [Aalto University](https://apis.io/providers/aalto/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Research, Publications, Research Data, CRIS, and Open Access. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification and API documentation.

Aalto's own four-path gateway contract over Acris, its research information system, exposing research outputs, a single output by id, an enhanced output view and output fingerprints. OpenAPI 3.0.0 served from research.api.aalto.fi with a USER-KEY header. This is Aalto's wrapper, not Elsevier's contract: the underlying Acris/Pure web service at acris.aalto.fi/ws/api is a separate tenant surface recorded below, and its generic Pure specification is deliberately NOT saved under Aalto's name. info.version reads "Pure v5.15/" because it names the upstream release being wrapped.
