Elsevier Pure Web Services API — HIT Tenancy

HIT's tenancy on the Elsevier Pure web services API, deployed at scholar.hit.edu.cn/ws/api. THE RELATIONSHIP IS RECORDED HERE; THE CONTRACT IS DELIBERATELY NOT SAVED IN THIS REPO. The live document at /ws/api/openapi.json is titled "Pure API", carries contact pure-support@elsevier.com, declares a relative server of /ws/api and describes 827 paths — it is Elsevier's product specification, identical in substance across every Pure customer, and it belongs against Elsevier's own repo, not HIT's. Data paths are credential-gated (HTTP 401, Elsevier-issued api-key); there is no HIT-facing process to request one. This entry exists so the institutional fact survives without crediting HIT for Elsevier's engineering.
