SINAB library catalog (self-hosted Ex Libris Aleph) is one of 8 APIs that [National University of Colombia](https://apis.io/providers/national-university-of-colombia/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Library, Aleph, Ex Libris, and Discovery.

catalogo.unal.edu.co runs Ex Libris Aleph on UNAL's own infrastructure (168.176.5.96), not on an Ex Libris cloud tenancy — the host verdict is institution, but the product is a vendor's and no Aleph contract is saved. The Aleph X-Services gateway is reachable and returns well-formed XML, but every anonymous query fails with "SRU gate configuration file is missing", so there is no usable public search API. Discovery for SINAB lives at sinab.unal.edu.co, which now serves a Ghost site ("Manglar"). Probed 2026-09-01.
