HKU DataHub (Figshare tenancy)

HKU DataHub is the University's research-data repository, running as a Figshare tenancy — datahub.hku.hk is a CNAME to figshare.com and the same content is served at hku.figshare.com. The data, the collections and the DOIs are HKU's; the API contract behind them is Figshare's generic api.figshare.com/v2 and belongs to Figshare's own profile. Recorded here as a tenant relationship only. The eleven Figshare-derived "HKU" API entries this repo carried before 2026-08-19 — altmetric, articles, authors, collections, institutions, oauth, other, profiles, projects, symplectic — were one vendor document counted eleven times and have been removed.
