OPAL (Open @ La Trobe) Research Repository is one of 3 APIs that [La Trobe University](https://apis.io/providers/la-trobe-university/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, Open Access, OAI-PMH, Figshare, and Tenant. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

OPAL is La Trobe's open-access research repository — its publications, theses, datasets and DOIs — deployed as an institutional tenancy on Figshare. opal.latrobe.edu.au is a CNAME to figshare.com, and researchdata.latrobe.edu.au redirects to latrobe.figshare.com. The data, the DOI prefix (10.26181) and the OAI-PMH set (portal_234) are La Trobe's; the API contract is Figshare's and is scored against Figshare, not against La Trobe. The set-scoped OAI-PMH query below is the one machine-readable route into La Trobe's holdings and was verified live on 2026-08-30 (HTTP 200, text/xml, records dated 2026-08-28). No generic Figshare OpenAPI is stored in this repository.
