Elsevier Pure Web Services API — HIT Tenancy is one of 5 APIs that [Harbin Institute of Technology](https://apis.io/providers/harbin-institute-of-technology/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, Pure, Vendor Tenancy, and Scholarly. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

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.
