ASU Library Research Data Repository API (Dataverse)

The ASU Library Research Data Repository runs on the open-source Dataverse platform, on ASU's own host, from an ASU-local build — /api/info/version returns "6.11 asu-6.11-oai-rights". The native Dataverse REST API answers anonymously for info, search and metrics: /api/search returns 104 datasets, each with a global_id under ASU's own DOI prefix 10.48349/ASU. ASU operates the deployment; the API contract itself is the Dataverse project's, shared by every Dataverse installation, and is deliberately NOT held under this slug.

x-operator: institution
x-operator-evidence: Host dataverse.asu.edu is under ASU's own registrable domain and CNAMEs only to Cloudflare
  CDN (dataverse.asu.edu.cdn.cloudflare.net), not to a vendor platform. The version string carries an
  ASU-local build tag and the OAI adminEmail is dataverse@asu.edu.
x-contract-operator: dataverse-project
x-contract-note: The Dataverse native API specification is the Dataverse project's product contract, identical
  across every installation. Saving it here would credit ASU with someone else's engineering, so the deployment
  is recorded and the contract is not.
x-probe:
  baseURL_status: 404
  probed: '2026-09-01'
  version: 6.11 asu-6.11-oai-rights
  dataset_count: 104
  baseURL_note: The bare /api prefix returns a Dataverse JSON 404 ("API endpoint does not exist on this
    server"); /api/info/version, /api/search and /api/info/metrics/datasets all return 200.
  negative_probe: https://dataverse.asu.edu/api/info/NOT-A-REAL-ENDPOINT-12345
  negative_probe_status: 404
  note: The Dataverse HTML UI at https://dataverse.asu.edu/ returns 403 ("ASU error page") to a scripted
    browser User-Agent — an edge bot rule, not an outage. The API paths under /api are unaffected. humanURL
    therefore points at the ASU Library landing page, which returns 200.
