HKUST Open Data Platform

Central Elastic Stack repository established by ITSO to collect, search and visualise smart-campus data, including the IoT sensor inventory and sensor readings. It is institution-operated, but there is no open self-service endpoint: the data is reached only through the HKUST API Gateway with a subscription key issued after review, and no separate public API reference is published beyond the IoT retrieval walkthrough.
