TU/e Pure Web Service (Elsevier Pure deployment)

TU/e's deployment of the Elsevier Pure Web Service REST API, the research-information (CRIS) interface behind the TU/e Research Portal. The deployment's own generated documentation is live and public at pure.tue.nl/ws/api/documentation/index.html; the API itself is api-key gated and is not self-serve. No OpenAPI is registered here on purpose: the contract belongs to Elsevier Pure, not to TU/e, and crediting it to the institution is exactly the misattribution this profile was rebuilt to remove.

API entry from apis.yml

apis.yml Raw ↑ 
aid: eindhoven-university-of-technology:pure-web-service
name: TU/e Pure Web Service (Elsevier Pure deployment)
x-operator: tenant
x-operator-note: The contract is Elsevier's. Pure API 5.35.3-4 declares info.title "Pure API", contact
  pure-support@elsevier.com and a relative servers entry "/ws/api" — it carries no host at all, and nine
  other universities in this catalog ship the identical document. The deployment at pure.tue.nl is TU/e's;
  the specification is not, and is deliberately NOT stored in this repo.
