Elsevier Pure REST API — Aarhus University deployment is one of 5 APIs that [Aarhus University](https://apis.io/providers/aarhus/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Information, CRIS, Vendor Platform, and Tenant Deployment. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and authentication docs.

Aarhus University's deployment of the Elsevier Pure research information system REST API. The data is Aarhus's — its researchers, projects, research outputs and organisational units — and the deployment runs on the university's own host. The CONTRACT is not Aarhus's: the served OpenAPI declares info.title "Pure API", info.contact.email pure-support@elsevier.com and version 5.35.3-4, and the same document is shipped by at least ten other institutions in this catalog. No copy of that specification is kept in this repository, because saving it here would credit Aarhus University with Elsevier's engineering — this is the exact misattribution the university pipeline exists to prevent. The endpoint itself is credentialed: an unauthenticated request to /ws/api/524.0/persons returns HTTP 401 "Full authentication is required to access this resource". The specification is publicly readable at https://pure.au.dk/ws/api/openapi.json for anyone who wants to inspect the product, and it belongs in Elsevier's own profile.
