CityUHK Scholars Pure Web Service (tenant deployment)

CityUHK's deployment of the Elsevier Pure REST web service, reachable at https://scholars.cityu.edu.hk/ws/api and gated by an api-key header. The deployment is CityUHK's; the contract is Elsevier's Pure API 5.35.1-2, a generic product specification shipped identically by many Pure customers, and it is deliberately NOT stored in this repository. Score the contract against Elsevier, and this entry as the institution's tenancy of it.
