KFUPM Elsevier Pure Web Services (tenant deployment)

KFUPM runs an Elsevier Pure research information system at pure.kfupm.edu.sa and its Pure Web Services REST API is reachable at /ws/api, authenticated with a Pure api-key header. The deployment, the tenant and the research data are KFUPM's; the contract is Elsevier's. Its OpenAPI declares info.title "Pure API", contact pure-support@elsevier.com and version 5.35.3-4 — the same document at least nine other universities in this catalog were also credited with. It is recorded here as a relationship and is deliberately NOT saved as a KFUPM contract. Score the interface against Elsevier's own repo. Pure administration is itself fronted by KFUPM's SAML IdP (/admin/saml2/authenticate/pure).
